actually I would say that the advantage would be that it runs linux and is a very open development platform- don't get me wrong, I love my modded psp's, but the gp2x crowd is a totally different mentality- you can't play god of war- but you can run cygwin and ssh on it- I am interested iin the pandora when it comes out though- I would just like it more if you could put some scaled version of windows on it for app support since I do audio and you could prolly do some really fun things with the 2 analog controllers on some live performance software, even if you were just doing loop cuts and such
Pandora doesn't have an x86 CPU so windows is probably a no no (unless you want to emulate windows 95). But certainly if those guys work hard enough they might come with some advanced Linux port like QTopia but better. Give it web browsing and you got an interesting device indeed
“An engineer explained to us that hundreds of ear impressions were gathered in the name of research, and while each one obviously boasted its own unique shape and size, one single characteristic remained uniform across the board: the entrance into the ear canal is not a perfect circle, it's an oval.”
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
and what are the advantages over a Custom Firmware PSP at the same pricepoint with emulation?
The advantage is that it doesn't take any dicking around with custom firmwares.
Gabe-
Better screen ratio for most emulated systems, less ghosting of pixels, etc.
