so, the Pandora is almost here. i want this to be good, but i'm quite happy with with my GP2X and this looks a bit clumsy. it reminds me somewhat of homer's dream car.
still it could be great. anyone tickled by this?

the more I stare at the pic of the Pandora on the main page, the more it looks like a photoshopped ds lite. They do have videos of it on the blog section, so I guess it could be an extraordinarily well funded scam, but hopefully it's for real.

Its real. It actually has a lot of similarities to the DS.

Still no news. I'm leaning towards 'scam' at this point.

Well I guess it's legit. The emulation looks pretty shaky at this point, though. Also that guy should have rehearsed that presentation better. :D

i had the sound off so i guess thats lucky...heh. i bought a GP2X at the end of 2007 and that demo showed nothing that i cant already do. i get the impression that they've been a bit over ambitious with this project.
the spec is impressive but I'm dubious about the supposed battery life "Up to 10 hours battery life under reasonable load 8.5 hours under max CPU load"
whilst this may or may not be the next gizmondo, i cant help but feel that this is going to be a bit underwhelming. i don't want to hate but i feel like i have little other option.. anyway, with a GP2X and G1 phone i have portable Internets and gaming covered, so no actual interest in acquiring one of these, but its interesting to keep an eye on.

Yeah, I've got no plans to purchase one as a DS with a Cyclo + GBA expander is all I need for portable gaming and wireless internet (not that I've used it for web browsing but it apparently can be done). If I ever wanted to take it one step further I'd buy an Asus EEE, or the new MSI Wind.

for all it can do you might as well go the next step and get a net book. i bought one a few months ago (acer aspire one) and it was great n all but realized i couldn't actually afford it and didn't really need it so sent it back under the premise that the microphone didn't work. i'm finding it harder and harder to see the point of this thing. spesh since i've just got ScummVM working on my phone :))

This ScummVM thing seems really cool. I'd love to play monkey island on my DS... It seems like there's hardly a platform ScummVM doesn't support. Do you know if any of those versions be made to run on a DS?

yea, it works... It plays most of the classics perfectly. The controls work real nice too. The screen is a bit small, of course. I just tested it to see if it works, and it does.
