Comments on: Open source handheld console? Yes! http://utterinsanity.wordpress.com/2010/02/09/open-source-handheld-console-yes/ For when sane just isn't good enough Sun, 10 Mar 2013 05:54:46 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: fayyaad http://utterinsanity.wordpress.com/2010/02/09/open-source-handheld-console-yes/#comment-5155 Tue, 12 Jul 2011 04:55:55 +0000 http://utterinsanity.wordpress.com/2010/02/09/open-source-handheld-console-yes/#comment-5155 @Josh Sadly, more than a year has passed since I first wrote this post (where the iPad was still very much the only decent tablet around), and since then the rise of the Android tablet has been absolutely phenomenal. Back when the Pandora was debuted, it was still pretty damned cool. Now? The tech has changed so much that it’s not worth the effort anymore. Rather pick up a cheaper Android, which is also open-source and probably cheaper and better!

There are tablets coming out with dual core cortex a9 chips for the same or less.

The console hasn’t even left the factories yet!
The only people who have access to them are the creators and a few selected developers. There are only about 20-30 that exist fully right now!

In short, the above person has either confused the Pandora with another console or he is a troll.

No doubt that lookwise it is good but if you say functionality wise then I will definitely not recommend this one to you. But if you are a normal user then it will be ok for use.
