To all the people saying that a handheld running x86 would be ideal-

x86 is not perfect. Pretty much by it's nature it uses a ton more power, you'd be getting a battery life of about 2-3 hours tops. The Pandora runs for 10-14 hours while performing taxing tasks, like watching Hi-def videos or emulating the N64.

ARM is just a more power efficient architecture.

I agree that a handheld with x86 would kick ass, but it wouldn't be the perfect system.

@handofstand Intel already has prototype Atom based cell phones running Android. Supposed to be out this year BUT God knows when they'll actually come out.. if ever.

[handofstand]

@RetroShinigami What are you talking about?

[handofstand]

@brandon9271 No, ha ha, that would be very unlikely.

Someone would more than likely come out with a SPARC-based portable computer because the Verilog code used by machines at a fabication foundry to actually manufacture the chips. It's design is open--after being released, in full, by Sun (before it was Oracle)--which means that people would know exactly how their operating systems and/or code would function on it.

[brandon9271]

@handofstand someones going to come out with a x86 based portable and then stuff like Pandora will be dead before it ever has mass production.

[handofstand]

@brandon9271 Then you'll have to wait a few years.
