unqualified Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 I just stumbed over this nice gaming handheld called 'Pandora'. Tough this may be 'old' already, i couldn't find any info on this board (please no bashing, maybe i didn't try hard enough). The official site shows impressive features of this device such as: * ARM® Cortex™-A8 600Mhz+ CPU running Linux * 430-MHz TMS320C64x+™ DSP Core * PowerVR SGX OpenGL 2.0 ES compliant 3D hardware * 800x480 4.3" 16.7 million colours touchscreen LCD * Wifi 802.11b/g, Bluetooth & High Speed USB 2.0 Host * Dual SDHC card slots & SVideo TV output * Dual Analogue and Digital gaming controls * 43 button QWERTY and numeric keypad * Around 10+ Hours battery life The product was also discussed by other boards such as [H]ard|Forum, but i am obviously not capable of finding any 1st hand information about how this thing really turns out to be. This said i have already searched on googlevid for nice visuals: sadly most vids consist mainly of emulating gamedevices, techdemos or teasers. An exception is the , My questions are therefore: Do you own one (being said that only 3000 pieces have been sold and the next wave starts in '09)? What is it capable of ( since it's running linux i'd say: a lot)? Having a linuxkernel, a keyboard and wifi, isn't this also going to be a sweet machine for doing some hacking? So most important to me would be: Is it possible and of interest for the Hak5-team to review one of these? Thanks for helping out, cheerio Image taken from playstationportable.de Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razor512 Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 based on the controls it would make a great device you modding and installing a proper os on it so it can be used kinda like a laptop the processor may not be very fast but it is enough to run many linux distros and also run windows xp if someone can find a way to get it to run it only problem is the price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogueHart Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 with some work it could be a next gen netbook could it not? definitely not the most powerful device out there but it would be by far the most portable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
