Remember The Fingerist , the guitar headstock-themed speaker and case for your iPhone or iPod touch? You know, the one with the shoulder strap for public (and private) performances with all of your favorite music making apps? Well, it seems that it’s finally available in the states. Indeed, there has been so little fanfare behind this announcement that the company responsible, Evenno, hasn’t even acknowledged it on its site. But don’t worry: we found this bad boy for $150 on Amazon. And if that’s not enough, iLounge has done a series of hands-on photos (see the More Coverage link, below).

In an interesting move for a major console launch, Panasonic is reaching outside of the fold and looking to some select US consumers to test out its upcoming Jungle gaming handheld . No details on the testing program were given, and it’s not much in the way of news, but it’s the most we’ve heard out of Panasonic since it announced the online gaming-centric handheld in October — we still don’t know when the Jungle will land or how much it will cost. At least Panasonic isn’t short on self-assessment: “We know other companies out there have traditional hand- held gaming covered… We’re doing something very different.” You can’t argue with that, we’ll just have to wait and see if Panasonic can pull it off.
