There’s some speculation that Panasonic’s new handheld games console (Jungle) will run Java.
Plausible? Interesting?
It is quite plausible and very interesting. Java 1.6 for Embedded Use (+ OpenGL-ES) on such a machine would be really fine 
Unfortunate name for a device though.
looks pretty ugly and bulky, maybe a more streamlined (iPad?) look would have been better and more appealing to consumers.
Java is just a strange assumption from the writer, based on a rumour that it runs on Linux.
A lot of reports suggest that the device will run RuneScape, which I guess is where the Java assumption comes from.
