Most likely a flop but it has potential with the tech and Linux crowd.

This is the first and sure the last time I heard about this handheld.

looks crappy as hell. did they even think about the dual analog?? they are in a bad spot! the keyboard should of been a slide feature, like its hidden but when you wanna send a message or something it slides out from behind the game pad area (you know from behind the analogs and the other buttons you push to play games)

also what does it weigh, 6lbs?

i guess its a nice try from a small company maybe merge with sony/nintendo/microsoft/apple and give it a round 2

I'd rather get a PSP and use pandora's battery on it, if you all catch my drift ^_^.

The specs are really cool, and from a tech and linux guy, I can tell you they are appealing. But this thing has the worst design I've ever seen, and I wouldn't even want to be seen holding it.

This is going to be an epic fail.

Its got alot of tech in it but...

1. its fugly both the DS and PSP look far better in design.

2. no major next gen console connectivity.

3. Can handle games like quake 3 with ease? LOL!

4. Exclusive game list will fail badly compared to the DS and PSP.

and lastly yes, this is most likely the last we'll hear of this crude atempt at the handheld market.

A portable emulator. That sounds... pointless.

Newsflash- people don't buy handheld consoles for processing power. And if people wanted to play Ocarina of Time, they would do it on a substantially cheaper N64.

I say this is going to flop.

EDIT:

At least it looks decent...

Its sooo gonna flop, just found out its more pricey then a PSP and DS combined. 330 USD nothing bundled with it just the device by it self. Insta fail!

pandora's box

The pandora is not in the same market as the PSP and the DS. It's an open platform for the homebrew and creative scene. I think I read somewhere that only 4000 pandoras have been produced so far.
