*shrug* People are just like that. Part of it is personal taste, part of it is brand loyalty.

And its starts very young. I was sitting in the train recently and a little boy of around 8 years was hovering around me while I was playing my pandora. It first I didnt know what he was doing but he was trying to get a sight of the back of lid. So I showed it to him and he asked me what it was. I explained and he was imediatly not interested anymore, later I heard him say to his friends it wasnt a nintendo and also not from apple.

:blink:

That is the ugliest thing I've ever seen for a handheld system.

That's what thousands of people say about the Pandora.

[edit] Thread moved & merged.

I am not sure why as Pandora basically looks like a DS lite with a keyboard instead of second screen. I don't hear people saying the DS is ugly. Doesn't make sense the DS actually looks more plain.

Where are the speakers on the jungle? I don't see any by the screen.

Uh-oh, Jungle will fail DaveC certification for sure

Pandora basically looks like a DS lite except with ugly glossy keys, ugly top case, ugly hinge, ugly speaker grilles and probably other ugly things which I'll remember when I get my unit back

Love is blind, love is blind. Once you have it in your hands, you won't see these anymore....

 

[quartercast]

True. And there's always the paper bag method if love doesn't work.

True. And there's always the paper bag method if love doesn't work.

Hahaha...

But yes, it looks interesting, hopefully it will come to market quite quickly - more handhelds can only be a good thing!

Or you could turn the lights off. Then you're saving a tree and not hurting its dignity.

Well, this is powered by Tegra 1.

So, perhaps the guesses that is is based on a OnLive like services are right? Since I don't see Tegra I running modern MMOs at "nut's high resolution".

I don't like the shape of it, but otherwise the design doesn't seem so bad. I prefer the Pandora's design, but I would like the Pandora's design even more if it was glossy (at least on the lid... fingerprints would be a problem other places)

 

[trix]

What's with all of the design hate on the Pandora?

I don't understand why people keep calling it ugly, I love the way it looks!
I suppose taste as to a device's appearance is about as subjective as it gets, but the thing looks about as bad ass as possible, in my opinion.

All it needs is offline Google Earth, offline Wikipedia, and the words "Don't Panic!" inscribed in big bold friendly red letters on the lid.

Well, even for some "grownups" think, that only brand with a super-cost, hyper-advertising and 10 things relased have a cool gaming system... Just they're interested in it, but if it's not Nintendo/Apple, they think it' shitty...

and they can keep thinking that while I enjoy my Pandora!


when I get mine, that is...

 

[darkborn]

Pandora looks...retro and that's what we like yeah? The only thing missing on the Pandora is a Rainbow stripe in the bottom-right corner!

You're obviously made a mistake. You wanted to say in the top-left corner, next to Commodore logo.
Like this here:

Ah those Speccy fans... :rolleyes:

Oh yeah I forgot about those beautiful speaker grilles on the DS lite. A couple of holes drilled in the lid, yeah that was gorgeous, real work of art, I forgot...

That didn't last long...
