The "PlayWave" will come preloaded with Popcap classic Bejeweled and will feature a 167mb hard drive, though no other games have been confirmed foir the platyform. A "playtime" setting which will also feature which will cook food according to the player's performance in-game. Co-founder and Chief Creative Officer, Jason Kapalka said: “It has always been our ambition at PopCap to create game experiences that people can enjoy anytime, everywhere. Our fans tell us they love to pass the time playing a few levels of their favourite games anywhere and everywhere and everyone loves a good meal so we thought why not combine the two?”
The device is a result of Popcap's extensive research into consumer's gaming habits, and the de's notoriously addictive range of games. We've also heard rumours of a "Play-n-Poop," due early next year.
