It's an interesting name as Pandora is what made the PSP semi-cool. :)
Yep, and that battery appeared long after we've decided on the name ;)

where? Googled but what am I looking for?
As for the name, it's not my cup of tea personally, I think I'll Tipp-Ex over it and write Craiginator in permanent marker when I get mine :lol:

Just how long have you people been working on this?


On the name or handheld?
Name was... I think we needed a few weeks to find a good one (we think a good one).
I think we started to work on the handheld... February? Something like this.

IIRC, MWeston said that it can't pick up the rotation. :(
Yeah, I confirmed with the manufacturer that it only spins for mechanical reasons. It's too bad as that would have been a killer application, especially with web browsing!

Instead of 2 Analog-Pads you could replace one with an Dial in similar form. ;) Racing Games, Arkanoid Games etc. would rule with an Spinner/Dial-thing on the Handheld.

Thanks for the heads up.

Wait... but... pandora.com... :huh:


Edit: Renamed Craiginator to Pandora in the wiki, and the page has been moved. Everyone should use this link instead now:

http://pandora.bluwiki.org/

Thats a Joke, right? :huh: I mean, this things real Names isn't "PANDORA" ?!?!?! Please not. Sounds cool first but sadly pandora is an word for a very very bad thing. ^^"""

There's always someone who isn't happy, I guess.

Yes, the real name is Pandora. It can't be changed without creating a whirlpool of issues, and besides, it isn't as bad as Craiginator. ;)

Everyone's gotta start modding somewhere :lol:
I just hope it doesn't look like some uber tech wafer and more like an old school handheld. Never mind if I like the name or not really. But I dont ;)

Nope, it isn't :)

From wikipedia:

In Greek mythology, Pandora was the first woman. Each god helped create her by giving her unique gifts. Zeus ordered her creation as a punishment for mankind, in retaliation for Prometheus' having stolen fire and then giving it to humans for their use. She is most famous for carrying a jar (pithos) (or box) containing all the world's evils. This is also thought as the only power to kill a God for a mortal. She releases these evils, and tries to close the lid but it is too late. Along with these evils came Hope, Humanity's only salvation.

-----

Well, basically, if you still consider the creation of women as a punishment... :)
Her box is sad and bad, but not the woman itself :)

Yes, I had a quick WIKI-visit to. :) PANDORA also is a very beautiful Woman. Well, we have the first Female Handheld. GameBOY will be happy! :D
And as long the EVIL of the BOX will come over the other Consoles like PSP&Co. I can live with it.

Actualy no, once she realized that shes letting out the evils she closed the box, and the only thing that didnt make it out was the hope, and so golden/good times for humanity ended.

Now theres only hope inside Pandora box.
