How to describe the Pandora?

[Binky]

What is the best way to explain what a Pandora is?


I would go with:

The "smart" from smartphone, plus the

"

book" from notebook



and the "media" from PMP and the "game" from retrogaming cross-bred with a DS

 

[Prometheus]

"A pocket-sized computer with gaming controls". That's how I describe it, it seems to work well.

 

[Farox]

"A pocket-sized computer with gaming controls". That's how I describe it, it seems to work well.

I like it

 

[Nardella]

When people see it and ask I call it a laptop with gaming controls.

 

[WizardStan]

Palmtop computer. "That's a computer?" "Yes."

 

[Wrath Of Khan]

I describe it as craig and edds lovechild.

Doesn't really make me think of neat versatility much...


...more like a playstation controller running winCE...!...?


hows about:

smartphone + geek x DS

 

[Prometheus]

A computer doesn't make you think of versatility?


I certainly can't imagine putting the Pandora in the same bracket as something like smartphones, myself, but that's probably because I find those very restrictive and not at all useful... :lol:

More that a pocket computer doesn't make me think neat and versatile at the same time.


I either think

or I think my entire desktop complete with tangle of usb cables, crammed into my pocket. probably just me...

 

[DaMummy]

will it shut people up if i just say its my iphone?

 

[Blue Protoman]

Personally, I like calling it a handheld everything console.

A pile of shit.

How about calling it a tardis of electronic gadgets:

looks a bit odd/camouflaged

fits a lot of stuff in

allows you to travel back in electronic history and play with old home computer/consoles

But is your Pandora bigger on the inside? AND STOLEN?!?!

1. If I had one, then yes, metaphorically (they do lots of cool stuff for their size)
   
2. I was planning to pay over £300 for one when they are actually available, however, I will steal one if you wish...

Just yesterday a colleague asked me if that black thing with the questionable case design was a telephone. :lol:


What I replied was:


It is a tiny personal computer running Linux on an ARM platform, and I mentioned that the used ARM platform is basically the same one as the platform we develop on at work (a quite powerful car infotainment system). The colleague was astonished.


Btw, I also clearly stated that I like the case design.

How about "The lovechild of a Nintendo DS and a palmtop, on steroids"

 

[b1llygo4t]

i always say it uses the same technology as psp nds smartphones ect. but its a computer with game controls. i mention that it runs a full desktop and applications and not goofy "pour a forty oz on the curb for my dead homie" apps.


lately they show me how their phone is a metal detector and a level and flash light etc.
