Has anyone checked this out yet? Open source handheld coming out in 2008 with pretty impressive hardware for somewhat of an indie project.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pandora_(console)
Looks quite nifty to me. Similar to the GP2X and GP32X handhelds although I reckon it may share a similar fate of failing to do well in the market.
Thought some people here might be interested.

The GP2X never died, it is still has a huge user base that developes for it, but when you have a open source handheld like that, you have to rely on people, not companies to make games and software.
From a emulation stand point, the GP2X was awesome. I just never had the money to buy it, it costs more then a PSP and lacks any real 3D rendering abilities. On a side note, the Pandora not only looks great, but sounds great. Too bad I know i won't be able to afford one. The keyboard could have used work though. | |
Jobs are a wonder :o I figured if I save up money from this month and the next month I'll have around 600$ Which is enough to buy that and a few accessories :D!
Problem about jobs are, you have to be a certain age D: I wish they'd get rid of that rule. | |
And you know, how old are you? I owe like $3,000 and have to pay rent and stuff. Life sucks, you can't always afford that sweet stuff.
I think they should have the keyboard like the mini board you can get for the Xbox 360 controller. I got one, it works great. | |
Even if someone is young they can still have extra money. Do not immediately say someone is young because they have $300 extra dollars.

Yeah, and don't think that just because you are young means you do have extra money, either. It's rare for me to have more than $100 in my bank at a time xD

I'm sure people will have hacked Ubuntu in a few days of it's release, how awesome would that be!
But that's still not as cool as the EeePC. Didn't Ubuntu say they were developing a Mobile version? | |
Eh...Yes, I have a bank account. My job only does direct-deposits (which sucks, IMO. I had always looked forward to the feeling of walking into the bank to cash my very first paycheck, and that just isn't possible nowadays =/), so it's pretty much required.

Flame Sage: Newegg is offering free shipping on the Eee PC with a coupon code. If you are still planning on getting it and are interested on the free shipping, I'll give you the coupon code.
| |
Could you email me that cupon code?
Also, I'm thinking about getting the $299 model. Is the 399$ or 499$ really worth it? (I assume I can run even Eeexubuntu on 512mb of ram) | |
Cool, but SO ugly. It looks like something out of the 80s.
| |
Hell, if I make enough money by the time it comes out I'll probably look it over and decide if I want it or not =o. It looks like its 320$ So we'll see what I can make by then.
