About the Pandora
Jan 04 2013 12:09 PM | EvilDragon in General Information
The Pandora is a mixture between a PC and a gaming console. That's why it has gaming controls (Buttons, DPad and analogue nubs).
It is fast enough to emulate many other systems flawlessly, run a full desktop, access the internet via FireFox and play games such as Quake3.
However, it is not as big as a netbook. Believe it or not, it will fit in your pocket. It's about the same size as a Nintendo DS.
The screen features a crispy clear 800*480 resolution LCD and the battery life is a sensational 10+ hours.
But the most interesting part is probably that it isn't designed by a large company, it was designed by the suggestions and requests of hundreds of people, put into reality by a small team.
And yes, the Pandora is running an OpenSource OS: it's basically Ångström-Linux with some Pandora-specific changes - the sourcecode is freely available from our own GIT.
However, you can also run Android with it (CyanogenMod 7) or other OSes like ArchLinux ARM, Slackware, etc.
