Panasonic Jungle

[Exophase]

I think that Panasonic saw Open Pandora project and chickened out

I think that's probably not what happened.


Oh well, too bad for Panasonic, probably saved the embarrassment of what would have likely been a failure, although a niche following with this sort of device is often possible. Shame they spent all the money they had on it, particularly in advertising. If I had anything to do with this project I'd be pretty disappointed to see it vanish into thin air like this.

A few million wasted is probably nothing to them. I suppose eventually we will see the odd one pop up on ebay as they no doubt exist in a small number.


Oh what we could do with a few million...

 

[Exophase]

I dunno. I imagine Panasonic isn't what it used to be and can't just casually throw millions around. This could actually be bad news.

Maybe we could get them to release what they had in mind for it? With the specifications, OS, software, etc.? That'd be pretty cool.

Good luck with that. I don't think they'll authorize an information release just to satisfy curiosity.

Buy an actual office, perhaps?

We do have an office, actually space is something we have lots of (especially for the UK!).

Sort of the opposite of Duke Nukem Forever, which has probably outlasted stores, their target demographic, their dev company, the magazines they were featured in...

I like Strongbow, a few years ago it was easy to find in my city. Right now, it's harder to find, only a few pubs still import Strongbow.


I (barely) remember getting passably drunk because of the large number of strongbow I had on the ferry on the way back from England.


It's a really good cider and it was available in 0,5 liters cans on the ferry (I think bottles where judged too risky).
