This thing has really got my interest!Price is a little bit on the high side to me(330$)but then i remember this thing is a beast hardware wise(touch screen,great resolution,ports,and wifi/bluetooth.

I would like more info though on what devs are working on to recompile to this platform.That’s what will be the deciding point for me in the future when they go into full production.

Any idea what the pink and black plugs are used for?

I agree that is a beast of a machine. Can’t wait for it when I get more money too! :)

@wutang
They are working on many things ^^ Many emulators are already ported (Playstation, Amiga, Snes, Megadrive etc.)

Remember, its an open device so you can just develop you own applications after you bought the device.

I can’t wait for the firmware to come out for this to allow you to play bootlegs.

Any word on when a second batch is going to be made?

What do you mean? It’s open source, and runs linux. they already have git up so you can download the kernel (still being worked on) now if you want. It’s more like a mini computer than a classical console.

the gpu is propriety.. opengl acceleration is closed source.

cut it out with the garbage pseudo-hacks people.

Nothing stops you from making an open source implementation of the SGX 530 driver. there’s already someone trying to reverse-engineer it.

the name pandora for an electronic device is already taken by pandora radio. (pandora.com). I think they should have a tage added to the name to differentiate it more.

I wonder if you can install Windows on it.

@maj, you could probably install windows CE, but not XP or anything like that, because it has an ARM processor, not a X86 processor like ordinary PCs.

I have flash cards for all of my handheld devices, no way I’m paying full price for my games…
