Wow, I didn't know this handheld existed. I was tempted to get one for a few minutes. After doing some research I realized Mame is not available for it. Playing Ms. Pac-Man is one of the main reasons I am getting a Wiz. Furthermore, I don't know if any more emulators would be available for the A320, and the Wiz has a much larger user community. I'm hoping we will get in time a good Atari 2600 emulator. Plus the Wiz supposedly has a better screen.'Chip' said:
The A320 is a good machine, though.

Was going to buy a Wiz until I realized I could actually use a Pandora to work on. For me this is the big difference. With a Pandora I can write, draw and code anywhere. I can also surf on the Internet and write on forums comfortably wherever I can find wifi access. Full speed PSX emulation and longer battery life are some neat bonuses too. If you're buying a Pandora then you don't need a Wiz but if you're not interested in the additional features of the Pandora then get a Wiz.

NO. You cannot run Vista on the Pandora. Ever. At all.

I won't be getting a Pandora, too much $$$ for what it is and horrible tiny keyboard,
You do know you're meant to thumbtype with te Pandora's keyboard? There are many smartphones that have comparitively tiny keyboards which are perfectly comfortable to type on.
Also, a lot of people are listing an OLED screen as one of it's selling points, and it is - being able to see it perfectly fine on a sunny day is great, but I would take a standard LCD screen over the screen tearing.

Oh neat, it's a ... field.
arrgh, you or I haven't seen neither the tearing or the screen. So we can't really judge these yet.

As I have already stated. Although a bit annoying the screen tearing isn't even massively bad in Sonic (although it is very easily seen).

Well in that case I will use XP. That will certainly boot within 10 seconds (booting time is important to me)

Chip: If I end up getting something to supplement my Pandora, it will be an A320.
The biggest advantage of the Wiz is its screen (IMO), I doubt you can play A320 in the sun. Also I have seen a lot of devs supporting the Wiz, who is supporting the A320?

B_O_B: since you're an old member I'm presuming you're pandora trolling. Please don't do it in the wiz section.

b_o_b, what?
You've stated twice that booting time is 'important to you', that's great. In that case, why stick to microsoft?
A pandora can never boot XP in at least 10 seconds, my eeepc 900 can boot *nlited* XP in about 17 (and that's pushing it).

Please stay on topic although it is quite funny watching the PandaBoys coming to the rescue of their glorious mega handheld. I think the Pandora will survive someone trolling but apparently you can't? Just ignore stupid comments.

I just wanted to make it clear to anyone watching, that Pandora cannot, and will not run Windows. Although now that I think about it, it probably was a troll.

If you want, the Pandora can run Bochs or Qemu or whatever, but I was talking about running it natively.

The only time I can accept quasit's spew of insults is when they are directed at Pandora lovers, very entertaining.
Despite that, this thread needs a lock.

Im getting a Wiz because the Pandora is overkill for what I want, and the userbase will end up consisting of too many bickering 12 year olds, ala the PSP scene
I have an A320 and it is OK, but not ARM based, has no hardware 3d (OK, so the Wiz wont set the world alight with its 3d performance I suspect, but itll be cool to play with), no touchscreen (I like SCUMM games), and apparently less dev interest. Despite Craigs possible plans, I get the feeling interest in it wont last long.
The homebrew stuff already done/planned is a good reason to buy a Wiz alone IMO
