Nearly two years after the Playdate made its public debut, Panic's quirky gaming handheld with a crank is ready for the masses. The company recently announced that the Playdate will be available for pre-order on July 29th for $179, with a ship date of later this year. I've been playing with a "press preview" version of the Playdate for the past couple of weeks, and while it's not perfect, I still think it's an incredibly charming handheld with a lot of potential. The question is whether there'll be enough interest — from both developers and consumers — to keep it going for the long haul.
