Thanks for the update SONY. :) Still can't see which one I'd prefer, but this helps a lot.

It's not the low quality, it's having to spend time converting all your existing videos. I've tried a good selection of videos on the Caanoo, from different sources (some from Bittorrent, some from Youtube, some I ripped myself) and so far not one of them has worked properly. I'm sure with the...

I tried MPlayer, but it still pretty much sucks.

Yeah, the Caanoo's shitty video support was a major letdown for me. The humble Dingoo is far better.

That's cool to know Getiplayer works on the Pandora, seems the dickheads at the BBC are always trying to kill that thing.

Ah yeah, I totally second it having a suspend or standby function. It's silly for any handheld not to have that function nowadays.

What a shocker. :rolleyes:

Also he was unarmed when he was shot. And it wasn't his wife. To be honest that graphic reminds me of those old diagrams of the gigantic Minecraft-esque fortresses we were supposedly going to find in Afghanistan. I'm sure before long we'll find out the whole thing was fantasy just like those...

I don't know, it's certainly possible he just put the wrong price in, but the "my other items" thing and the lack of feedback are big red flags for me. I'm pretty sure you're just being scammed.

All fair points, but aren't you basically saying they should just have made a GPH console? Yeah, the 3D was only used in a few programs, but those few programs were killer apps for a lot of people. If they were just offering 2D gaming and a low battery life, everyone would have said "screw that"...

Yeah, I agree with you guys. The Caanoo's not a perfect console but the Linux handheld market is way too crowded now, we'd be much better off if they'd just let these things mature. I wouldn't mine a "Caanoo Mk. II" with the same specs but with the screen issues fixed though, and maybe a better...

Definitely a scam or a trick of some kind. If you look at "my other items" it links to a completely different seller. Maybe you're just buying an SD card with Caanoo emulators on it? That's the oldest trick in the book. Once I saw someone selling a GBA console, and then when you read the full...

Damn, we've got some pretty impressive stuff coming up in this competition... I can't wait!

Obviously it's too early for anyone to have a complete picture, but so far it seems a tad suspicious. No photos, no videos, no confirmation from anyone outside the US government, and... they've chucked the body in the sea! Looks like we'll see some actual evidence in... about Two Months?

I don't know myself, but I wouldn't be surprised if they've somehow managed to block off that functionality completely. Makes sense from their point of view, I guess.

Sigh. So I guess that increase in production speed never actually happened, what a shocker.

Good review, thanks for linking SONY. I'm wondering... is there any way to get the Xperia Play onto a big screen? I heard it doesn't have HDMI out, either on the device or on the sold-separately docking station. Does that mean it's flat out impossible to play the emulators and videos on your...

Yes, you need a 3G-enabled SIM card.

Looks pretty nice indeed, if a little big. Personally I think once it's too big for your pocket you might as well just get a netbook or something with a capacitive touchscreen. I heard the battery life's a bit wank as well.

I have to admit the review's not his best work, he spends way too long just playing games one by one and doesn't really say anything about the device's other features except "it's a PC duh" (a bit misleading with the whole x86/ARM issue). Nothing about the build quality, wireless, data storage...
