"The Pandora uses a Texas Instruments OMAP 3530 System-on-Chip. This includes the ARM Cortex-A8 processor, the TI C64X programmable DSP, the PowerVR SGX 530 3D accelerator and supporting components. "


These are known quantities. If you want to see what it's capable of, look at other implementations of the OMAP platform. It's quite powerful.]]>Oct 3rd 2008 12:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/03/pandora-pre-orders-extended-through-the-weekend/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/03/pandora-pre-orders-extended-through-the-weekend/Oct 3rd 2008 4:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/03/pandora-pre-orders-extended-through-the-weekend/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/03/pandora-pre-orders-extended-through-the-weekend/Oct 3rd 2008 4:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/03/pandora-pre-orders-extended-through-the-weekend/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/03/pandora-pre-orders-extended-through-the-weekend/Oct 4th 2008 12:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/03/pandora-pre-orders-extended-through-the-weekend/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/03/pandora-pre-orders-extended-through-the-weekend/Oct 3rd 2008 1:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/03/pandora-pre-orders-extended-through-the-weekend/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/03/pandora-pre-orders-extended-through-the-weekend/
I am an extremely happy owner of a GP2X, which is still amazing. fullspeed genesis, neogeo, MAME, nes, and more. Lots of really sweet free homebrew as well - nearly all of which will be easily ported to the Pandora. It is a safe bet that much of the best emulators for GP2X will surface for Pandora near or at launch.

plus it's a nice little media player. They are putting a monster-components under the hood here. THere is no doubt that this thing will be worth every penny. but keep in mind, like the GP2X, this is for those who don't mind getting their hands a little dirty. It's not going to be as easy as plugging a disc / cartridge in, such as with current commercial handhelds. But not too bad, no harder than a basic PC emulator install. put files into the right folders and viola.]]>Oct 3rd 2008 1:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/03/pandora-pre-orders-extended-through-the-weekend/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/03/pandora-pre-orders-extended-through-the-weekend/]]>Oct 3rd 2008 3:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/03/pandora-pre-orders-extended-through-the-weekend/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/03/pandora-pre-orders-extended-through-the-weekend/I think a very small portion of the 4000 will actually develop on it, but I don't care.
Open source, Forums-based feedback loop, dedicated group of developers, excellent specs.
That's what I'm paying for.
I expect a lively development process for this device.
And it runs Firefox at 800 by 480 resolution with 802.11g, so it is a great candidate for sofa-top computing.]]>Oct 3rd 2008 4:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/03/pandora-pre-orders-extended-through-the-weekend/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/03/pandora-pre-orders-extended-through-the-weekend/Oct 3rd 2008 4:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/03/pandora-pre-orders-extended-through-the-weekend/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/03/pandora-pre-orders-extended-through-the-weekend/Oct 3rd 2008 7:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/03/pandora-pre-orders-extended-through-the-weekend/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/03/pandora-pre-orders-extended-through-the-weekend/]]>Oct 4th 2008 12:44AM
