Google translation: QUOTE
Personally, I my eyes can not even believe what they have seen grade: The Pandora was presented in Hong Kong. Why? When? By whom? I'm sorry. On these questions, I still no reply. Watch the video yourself at once:
Ok, let me try to translate it.
Fortunately, this was done in Hong Kong, where they speaks Cantonese. Had this been China, my Mandarin would not be good enough to do the translation.
There were parts were the music from the video were too loud that I couldn't really hear the conversation, so sorry if I couldn't translate that part.
Presenter : I do not know linux that well, I've only learned it for a short time.
Presenter : Sorry for the loudness of the video, I didn't create it, hence I have no control over it.
Presenter : This video was created as a concept to the actual equipment, it's created with a similar size to the DS.
Presenter : A machine that can surf the net and play video game, what kind of emotion one can assume it will invoke? (More a statement than a question.)
The presenter talked about how the Pandora came about. Mentioned that the team at Pandora played with several hand-helds and wondered how they can combine a computer (this term is very generic in Chinese, it does not necessary mean a desktop, it can mean a laptop) with a gaming device.
Comparing the DS with a prototype Pandora, Presenter says the width and length is about the same, but the thickness is much greater for the Pandora, however, if compared to a notebook, it is still a good size.
Presenter : Only an initial batch is available to developers
Presenter : I saw Doom running very smoothly.
Mumbling about some script and flash with the audience, really couldn't hear it and understand it because of the loud music.
Presenter : If people (the audience) are interested, let's get together and order it in a batch and maybe we can get a discount. Currently, we already have 3 people commited in purchasing it in the next batch. (They either didn't know there will be some left over from the first batch or maybe they want to wait for the 2nd batch.)
Some one asked about the price, and the Presenter says $330. Obviously they aren't aware of the RAM upgrade and the price increase to $340.
Really nothing new there, but it's interesting to know that people in Hong Kong (where I was born) have interest in it.
