The Open Pandora is a portable PC device that is built with homebrew in mind. It's almost like the first real handheld PC gaming device. It seems very powerful, and can even emulate N64.
* Texas Instruments OMAP3530 System-on-Chip with Cortex-A8 at 600 MHz [13][14]
* 256MB DDR-333 SDRAM[13]
* 512MB NAND FLASH memory[13]
* IVA2+ audio and video processor (based on the TMS320C64x+ DSP Core at 430 MHz) using Texas Instruments's DaVinci technology[13]
* ARM Cortex-A8 superscalar microprocessor core[13]
* PowerVR SGX 530 (110 MHz) OpenGL ES 2.0 compliant 3D hardware[13]
* Integrated Wi-Fi 802.11b/g[13]
* Integrated Bluetooth 2.0 + EDR (3Mbit/s) (Class 2, +4dBm)[13]
* 800x480 resolution touchscreen LCD, 4.3" widescreen, 16.7 million colors (300 cd/m2 brightness, 450:1 contrast ratio)[13]
* Dual analog nubs; 15mm diameter, concave, 2.5mm travel from centre[13][15]
* Full gamepad controls plus shoulder buttons[13]
* Dual SDHC card slots (currently supporting up to 32GB of storage each, supports SDIO)[13]
* Headphone output up to 150 mW/channel into 16 ohms, 99dB SNR[13]
* TV output (composite and S-Video)[13]
* Internal microphone plus ability to connect external microphone through headset[13]
* 43 button QWERTY and numeric keypad[13]
* USB 2.0 OTG port (480Mb/s) with capability to charge the Pandora[13]
* USB 2.0 HOST port (480Mb/s) capable of providing standard 500mA current to attached devices[13]
* Externally accessible UART for hardware hacking and debugging[13]
* Brick prevention with integrated bootloader for safe code experimentation[13]
* Runs the Linux kernel (2.6.x)[13]
* 4200mAH rechargeable lithium polymer battery[16][17]
* Estimated 8.5-10+ hour battery life for games, 10+ hour battery life for video and general applications, and theoretically 100+ hours for music playback (with backlight off and maximum power management)[18][19]
* Dimensions: 140x83x27mm (5.51x3.27x1.06 in)[13]
* Mass: 335 g (approximate weight: 0.739 lbs)[20]
It's not DX9 on the go like a super powered laptop, but this is even more portable, and has a longer battery life. Anyone else excited about this sucker?
Here are some videos of the sucker in action.
