Well, here's one which took some shortcuts on the fact-checking...
http://www.latestngadgets.com/openpandora-to-be-launched-in-the-market/4780.html

The launch of OpenPandora device was delayed many times and finally the company has begun assembling the parts in United States and is expected to ship the first order.

That's a really nice Youtube video that they have embedded. Has that been mentioned on PandoraPress yet?

Can someone take a picture and put it on Wikipedia now we have actual units?
We could really do with that ancient render not being in all the articles...

EDIT: Oh done...

But the picture on there at the moment is a professional photograph by Evildragon?

Tom's Hardware again.

"On the gaming front, Pandora supposedly runs Quake 3 Arena rather well, however it's promoted as a device capable of running older games and console ROMS via emulators--heck, the Motorola Droid can do those equally as well. Currently pricing is unknown"


1. Other (like the Motorola Droid) devices DON'T HAVE awesome physical gaming controls out of the box, Kevin Parrish, you TWAT!! :angry:


2. WTF are on about? <_<

Well, it is unknown, for anyone who wants to buy it now. Unless they can get into the first batch somehow, which seems to be sold out.

Awsome thread, how the hell did you find all those articles?

Pretend journalism. Awesome.

A decent part of these articles/comments are full with the same complains I've already seen in Pandora threads on 4chan, in which 80% of the posts are made by Trolls, 12% by retards and only 8% are made by actual people who like the Pandora and support it.

For some reason I find it amusing, no idea why.

 

[Joshwaan2k]

lol love everyone's comments about underpowered. I think the Pandora is a beast.

It just annoys me that people bag a product they have not seen in person or used before.

The best of the Pandora is yet to come and I look forward to it

it happens both ways, in fact, most of the fanboys has never touched or used a pandora also

But the fanboyism is not sterile, we can see the potential, because I'm sure I'm not the only one who has imagined himself using the Pandora incountable times, or we wouldn't even be here waiting! E.g. many times I had the thought "If I only had my pandora which would enable me to do this and that...". So the baggers have not done that either.

Thanks,
I just keep the first post updated, all the work is done by the people who post the links.


I can understand why people say underpowered, but it's not true for it's use.
Maybe the problem with smartphones etc, with 1ghz processors is bad use of the hardware? Just throw power at it. :rolleyes:

When you see the quakes running with a usable control method, show me all these competing devices with the higher specs. Show me what they can do.
