Technology Review: Pandora open source Handheld Console - Replay Expo 2011

[rhyfel1]

it deserves to fail pricing it that much, £390 cheeky bastards.

[jag9998]

This thing is admittedly awesome, and would harbor some serious geek cred, but they really missed the price point here.

is this a new pandora

[dde12321]

@Qdot543 I was about to say that old Pandora videos show other colors of the system. But I noticed that this video is from nov 2011, that is not so long ago.

Seems a crazy price for this unit, and its only running at 600mhz.... Hardware isn't even special either.

[extremepsychogamer]

this thing costs $500!! way to expensive when you have much more advanced devices out there now

[amstrad79b]

@extremepsychogamer Can you name one with better specifications please?

[extremepsychogamer]

@amstrad79b

XPERIA PLAY, Google nexus S, Samsung Galaxy Nexus, Xperia Arc, HTC Desire, HTC Desire HD, HTC Sensation, Samsung Galaxy Tab, Motorola Atrix, and a shit load of android devices and tablets out there that are faster and do everything this thing does, plus more

hi i have just heard that 300 pandora consoles are going to be shipped to the uk but i do not know were to get one do you know if so can you tell me . and can the pandora console get a virus and how do you put linux back on the console if same thing went wrong

[dde12321]

@coolforum100 Hey, I see you comment is a bit old but I fell like I should answer it. To get a Pandora you have to buy one online. Just google OpenPandora. You can find all the answers there on how to get one and more. And about virus, Linux can't get any virus as far as I know. And how to put linux back on? em I don't really understand that question?

[mummy216]

change your description please, it doesnt do PS2 in any way, shape, or form

[RetrocastUK]

@mummy216 done. thanks for the heads up. :)

It was interesting to see a final revision, as I'd only seen a first-run model (the ones that were sent out on pre-orders last year). Still an interesting piece of kit, but I wonder if it will keep pace against newer handhelds coming out now?

*WHEN I stumbled..." #iPhoneFail

[moobit]

@markvergeer yes I've know about this for probably just over a year myself wen I stumbled across it on a web search-they were making to order at that point I believe? This is the first time I've ever managed to get my grubby reviewer hands on one...not for want of trying! ;D

[markvergeer]

I owned one for a long time. Even made some vids about it.

[moobit]

This was an amazing piece of kit! :)
