That's what the GPD XD is for.We don't have Android on GPD WIN right?
I think those angles may help with grip, regardless of the size reduction. The smaller size helping would be a side benefit, as I see it, so it would be a good choice all around if there is unused space. I think the smaller size might be a problem for me, but I would need to try it to be sure (and my hands aren't big, but I really wouldn't want the side edges smaller than what is present on the Pandora). I think preferences for symmetry are going to be based on what an individual likes. Often when I am looking for symmetry horizontal is fine, and sometimes I want vertical, too. Sometimes I don't care about symmertry at all, and other times I want as much symmetry as possible (yes, spheres are nice, even though I generally like angles).I've taken the opportunity to alter both sides. Grip may be just better if the base unit is somehow smaller at the sides. And it looks more symmetrical imho. From ED's transparent Case pics I've spotted some unused space on the bottom (sides) of the Pyra. This could be an advantage for such an design...in theory of course. ^^"
I prefer the original GB in my hands, and the early DOS based HP palmtops look much nicer than the Win, to me.The GPD WIN looks so elegant because
Debian is acceptable. I have read some things that are making me question long term "independent" viability of it going into the future. They were just random comments, so it may not matter really, it just makes me think they might be headed in a direction where it becomes more like some other distros. Also, in case anyone was wondering, it had nothing to do with systemd, but I think it did have a little to do with Red Hat. (The systemd thing is a different argument, and has no impact on Debian being its own distro...or does it? Fuck it, I don't care about keeping track of the drama and everything getting changed, and all the politics behind it. I will use what I like, and if I decide I don't like it at some point I will try to work with it or find something else I like.)That's what the GPD XD is for.
Personally, I neither like Windows nor Android.
Debian rocks though.
I also like the Original Gameboy, still great Design and still fits superb into the hands, even in bigger hands. It all depends on what such a device represents, I also like bulky stuff if done right, military grade rugged Laptops for example!I prefer the original GB in my hands, and the early DOS based HP palmtops look much nicer than the Win, to me.
Thin does not make a good handheld. Some people might like how it looks, but it could cause the thing to be harder to hold on to, and that is FAR more important than looking nice.
I was eyeing the CAT S60 with the built in FLIR Thermal Imaging camera. It may be my next smartphone.Or something like that:
Good choice, though I prefer the look of the Sharp PC-3000/3100 myself, albeit it's an inferior machine compared to the HP 200LX.I prefer the original GB in my hands, and the early DOS based HP palmtops look much nicer than the Win, to me.
It looks great. I was looking at the Cat phones for someone that wanted something a little more durable than the flagships she kept destroying from the popular brands. No surprise here: they were rejected because of the look. I love 'em, but can't afford one, and I prefer a keyboard. That camera might help me convince her, not that she needs FLIR (but, still...I would play with it). What are your plans for it?I was eyeing the CAT S60 with the built in FLIR Thermal Imaging camera.

I missed your spoiler at first, and ended up searching for some of what you had listed. Some really great ones in there. I think the Sharp one is one I considered before picking up my HP. The keyboard looked awesome, so I wanted to give one like that a try (not that I have had any trouble with the HP one on a heavily used unit that was previously used by a delivery driver, and came with a metal environmental case!). I wish we could get a keyboard like that for the Pyra.Good choice, though I prefer the look of the Sharp PC-3000/3100 myself, albeit it's an inferior machine compared to the HP 200LX.
Well I was eyeing buying a FLIR Imaging Thermometer for project work, see how hot components get and such. If a smartphone has that built on it would be a neat investment. Also someone will make a Predator app for sure.What are your plans for it?
They did promise at least Android support as a non-default option in the comments section.We don't have Android on GPD WIN right?
Furthermore GPD plans to release one with atom x7-z8700 next year, I also rather wait for feedback from customersVery, very tempted, but I think I'll wait for the next bus. It'll be along in a minute!
Well if Steam and running an Indie game is only the concern I already did that on the OMAP5 going into the Pyra... not that it was running entirely that fast.In the best case this'll enable me to throw Steam onto it & run some of the Indie games
There is something new from the mobile passive cooling-front. Acer brings new ultra portable laptops with fanless "liquid cooling" solution:

They cool down the Skylake-U Processors (15W TDP) with that thing, it should be more than enough for some 2-4W SoC's then.
