I'm just judging from engadget comments for first impressions. There is also a first impression thread that adds to that.
Compatibility - I was thinking because Gp2x/gp32/wiz all have the same QVGA so that the code just needs to be recompiled. Even the controls are pretty much the same, but I admit this is negliable as Pandora can render to 400x240 which is easy enough to get it to render in the middle.
Anyway, I'm just adding to the discussion in a thoughtful manner. Please don't catagorise me in the same fanboi groiup as quasist.

I know i'm going to fall in love with those analog sticks! If the wiz had them, maybe it would be worth it. Will the Pandora display well in strong light environments like outside during summer?

Wiz is better for emulation of arcade and console style games because it is a handheld console. Pandora isn't

Does that mean the DS isn't a handheld? Pandora is hardly bigger then a DS.Hirolaser said:

Anyways, probably I'll get both, if I can live with the clam-shell design (or lack of same).

How has no one mentioned WiFi and Bluetooth yet? Those are two of the biggest reasons I'm getting a Pandora. The Wiz is nice, but I want something that can give me retro goodness as well as push polygons. And even if the Wiz could, it wouldn't have the controls to handle something like, say, Quake 3.
reason: if i get shot in the near the heart (i have a pocket there where i will keep the pandora) , the fat and bulky pandora will stop the bullet with the gp2x it will be a fatal shot
you can walk safely in the bronx at night wearing a white uniform with a cone shaped hat :->
(this is just for fun, doesn't intend to offend nobody, and i do not have a problem with black people)

I'd be embarassed of The Wiz!icurafu said:Another us-and-them styled thread.
I'll try a 5 reasons to buy a Wiz over the Pandora for another perspective.
1) It is cheaper.
2) It is more compatible with previous generation games and apps.
3) The device is more portable being lighter, can be used outside and fits in a pocket.
4) It looks a tad less embarrassing to be caught with. (Will depend on final models)
5) GPH has a history in commercial gaming beyond hand-held and have lots of mistakes to have learned from already.
"What's that stupid console with 2 d-pads?! How can you play games with 2 d-pads HUHHHH????"
"Uhh yeah it just looks like it has 2 d-pads. Trust me it's not as bad it looks!"
"Yeah well what's it called POINTDEXTER??"
"...The...*ahem* Wiz..."
*PUNCH*

The Wiz doesn't have two dpads. You should probably get your facts straight before bashing the Wiz.
