Did you get your Pandora, Ad?

Yeah i did. Haven't had much time to play with it and get it running properly (blame work). I don't have much to add beyond Notaz/DaveC/Zodttd/Skeezix, but my impressions so far are:

• The controls are fantastic, there's no handheld device i know of that rivals this. The Nubs are really nice, its the first thing everyone wants to touch.
• It has a very small footprint, makes the screen looks really large. It is quite thick compared to DS / PSP but i actually find it more comfortable (easier to grip).
• Everything is really solid. The plastic is very rigid and feels thick, i can see this thing being very durable.
• The Battery cover design is nifty, works really well.
• Even though this is just a prototype it has quite decent build quality, the only obvious flaw is the lid sits about 1mm lower on one side.
• The matte black suits it very well, there's too much glossy crap around nowdays.

I'll show some pictures of mupen64 running or something when i get a chance.

Hey Adventus, any chance of recompiling Wargus for Pandora and/or Wiz sometime down the road? Sorry to go off topic!

Thanks Adventus, it's nice to hear your comments on the build quality too.
