Do not buy this console, game park holdings have been taken hostage by the North Korean government. They took ownership communist style after a short lived invasion of South Korea. Many more fake consoles will be on the way, please be on the look out.
as i understood it, it is. it needs to be some ram pack specially made for that processor and the 128mb version is the only one currently availible. so i heard :)
The ram is more than enough...is actually a lot considering it's a handheld gaming console mostly, and a UMPC second. The PSP has 32MB of ram and it runs all it's games perfectly. The GP2X Wiz will have 64MB so 128MB it's a lot.
Why do people keep comparing like that? the eeepc is pretty much that, a "PC" or a mini laptop. This is mostly for gaming (a lot of emulation and homebrew games) and its secondary use is a UMPC so yeah. Maybe you should compare it (hardware-wise) to the PSP or Nintendo DS or one of those.
Pandora can emulate Dreamcast from the SD slot? Sega dreamcast have a lot of good games and if you can emulate dreamcast you will have 300 or more good games for your console Pandora.
it'd be nice to have more than slow-loading graphics on an LCD. anyway, keep it going guys, there's lots of electronic musicians who would love a little handheld like this.
Is there a wine version available for this device?

What?
OpenPandora is independent from GPH, and the Pandora is not fake at all. They are already mass-producing some of the components for it.

How do you run a PS2 game on a PC?
Answer: You use an emulator which fools the game and makes it think that it's running on a PS2 while it's running on your computer.
Pandora does the same thing; it emulates other "game stations" on a Linux operating system.

Search for these terms, games emulators, roms, MAME, Killera, supra client.
Remember that it is illegal to use roms without first obtaining permission from the developers/publishers.

Emulation usies one type of hardware to do a task (like run a game) which was originally intended to be done by another type of hardware.
So the pandora can run types of code that were meant for other consoles.
And since all the games you've played on those consoles are already uploaded to the web you don't even have to open the old boxes.

In case of OMAP3 chips it's a Package on Package design so the memory sits on the processing unit itself.

this thing is wayyy smaller than an EeePC. It's a bit larger than a ds. The only thing commercial for this thing is itself.

And not just games... killer battery life and DUAL SDHC SLOTS means it will be superior to most media players (bai bai ipod).
Oh yeah -- tv out. Did i mention that? Pop 20 full res Divx movies onto a SD card and bring it over to your friends for a movie night.
