The pandora has been called the PSP KIller and it looks a very interesting console sort of like a DS crossed with a mini laptop and very powerful with it, it could be the biggest homebrew console ever.

For those of you interested answer this question

Is Pandora a Good Name for the Console ?

Posted By: wraggster

I like the look of the Pandora esp the black version, basically looks like a DS with a Keyboard on the bottom instead of a screen.

But the name Pandora, does anyone else think they could have chose better ?

Pandora - Viable Testbed Platform/community For Commerical Dev?

Posted By: wraggster

Prophet posted this over at gp32x forums and id like to see the reactions here to his opinion:

I was just looking over the PowerVR SGX info (http://www.imgtec.com/powervr/produc.../SGX/index.asp) and it occured to me that the Pandora could be a nice testing platform for professional 3D handheld game development. It would have a small, technically inclined community of users - a perfect team of unpaid but enthusiastic testers.

So I wonder - would it be attractive for professional teams to use the Pandora as a testbed? Releasing concept builds of games, and/or even betas and even RC's as they approach final builds for commercial platforms (i.e. PSP, DS, phones etc.)?

Just a thought... I know we have a few such people around here, so I wonder what they think?

I realize the Capcoms and EA's of the world aren't going to do such a thing, but for smaller independent devs and contractors, it might be a fun and useful way to test ideas and code on a small hobbyist community.
