gaming Pandora

[Tom 891]

This is the official unofficial thread for the Open Pandora hand held computer/games console.

 

For anyone who doesn't know what I'm rambling on about, check the link above ^.

 

As my opening statement suggests Open Pandora is a small computer, around the same size as a Nintendo DS but has only one screen. It has a qwerty keyboard, two analogue nubs, directional buttons, four other face buttons, two shoulder buttons and a touch screen.

 

This device runs a modified version of Ångström linux, a full desktop OS. The system is also capable of natively running games such as Quake 3 well, it can even emulate PS1 and N64 with good results.

 

So... what do you people think about this marvellous device? Is it worth it's hefty price tag?

What is the price? (In USD preferrably)

I'm sorry to say, but the device looks a little clunky, I don't immediately see a reason why I would buy this.

It says 375 euros, so around 484 usd. 0.o

Wow, thats neat!

Quake on the go, madness; but at 484 dollars that seems a bit steep.

Not gonna buy it.

I thought about grabbing one a few years ago but the price managed to knock me off of the fence. :|

[Killian Jones 2,655]

That is really steep, even for what it can do.

[Tom 891]

Just had a thought, if I could put a 3G adapter into this somehow, I might get it.

 

Time to hit the internet.
