Actually, scratch that. You can run Flash and Pandora radio.

Moblin or Maemo. I prefer Maemo because it means an N64 and PSX in my next cell phone once the Pandora emulator development kicks into high gear. Any of those two OS will do for the Pandora.]]>Feb 12th 2010 1:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/12/finalized-pandora-handhelds-start-shipping-proves-that-dreams-r/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/12/finalized-pandora-handhelds-start-shipping-proves-that-dreams-r/
There's already NES, SNES, GameBoy and Genesis emulators on Android ;)

I'm still hopeful for N64 and PSX to come around (not to mention a gamepad attachment for my G1)]]>Feb 12th 2010 5:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/12/finalized-pandora-handhelds-start-shipping-proves-that-dreams-r/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/12/finalized-pandora-handhelds-start-shipping-proves-that-dreams-r/
No chance of getting "Maemo" branded Maemo (due to Nokia owning the name and probably some non-FOSS bits) but there's not real reason why Mer shouldn't run.

[edit] it already runs on the Beagleboard so getting it on Pandora would probably be fairly straightforward. ]]>Feb 12th 2010 11:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/12/finalized-pandora-handhelds-start-shipping-proves-that-dreams-r/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/12/finalized-pandora-handhelds-start-shipping-proves-that-dreams-r/
You are delusional if you think your puny little G1 can handle psx/n64 emulation. You need something like my nexus one for that. ;)]]>Feb 12th 2010 4:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/12/finalized-pandora-handhelds-start-shipping-proves-that-dreams-r/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/12/finalized-pandora-handhelds-start-shipping-proves-that-dreams-r/

The Pandora isn't being shipped to regular customers just yet. Open Pandora are waiting for the factory to send all the finished production cases with silk screened cases they can have made before the Chinese New Year. So yes, some of people who got them Pandora did pay for them. But they are not the mass production version that the regular customers will get.

they don't look like anything Apple or Sony would sell, but I like the look. Probably not the slickest design, but straightforward.

I like it.
