A new open source Linux powered console has a release date for September the 30th.
This new console is said to be around the size of the DS but, It is by far the most powerful handheld in the world both in terms of raw CPU power and 3D graphics capability.
- ARM® Cortex™-A8 600Mhz+ CPU running Linux
- 430-MHz TMS320C64x+™ DSP Core
- PowerVR SGX OpenGL 2.0 ES compliant 3D hardware
- 800x480 4.3" 16.7 million colours touchscreen LCD
- Wifi 802.11b/g, Bluetooth & High Speed USB 2.0 Host
- Dual SDHC card slots & SVideo TV output
- Dual Analogue and Digital gaming controls
- 43 button QWERTY and numeric keypad
- 10+ Hours battery life
The console is said to be the spritual successor to the GamePark 32 and the GP2X.
The pandora is said to be priced $330 US or £199.
But the question is, is another console really needed in the already "Crowded" market. Also will people in the economic downturn be willing to buy this console that is backed by a company that no-one has ever heard of.
