I would love a new phone. Please pick me :)

I think you're missing the point. Yes, PSP can run all the emulators you want. Yes, PSP has a crapload of accessories. Yes, the Wiz is cheaper and runs a lot of emulators. Yes, Dingoo costs $80. Yes, Pandora is $330.

But Pandora's pretty much built by the community, for the community, with community money and community support. It runs the emulators all the others do at full speed or better. It's an open platform so you can tweak it to your heart's content without worrying about the next firmware update.

I have two PSPs with CFW. One has 3.80 M33-5. The other has 5.00 M33-6. I can't play the newest commercial games on it without resorting to pirated/hacked ISOs, else I'll lose my ability to play those emulators you speak so much about. Sure, you can argue that the PSP hacking community will eventually work around that problem, but DarkAlex hasn't been putting out any new CFWs since 5.00 (I think), and it's starting to look like the hackers are falling behind in terms of keeping up with Sony.

Pandora's expensive, there's no away around that. But it's a niche machine for gadget and emulation lovers. I preordered a Pandora after I saw the Odroid and couldn't stand the button arrangement. I'm tired of missing out on the newest games because I'm afraid to lose my homebrew abilities on my PSP. I'll consider myself lucky to own a Pandora, and I'm sure almost everyone else who ordered one feels the same.

Check the read link, there's practically the whole thing spread out over about 5 or 6 photos. It's not assembled yet, but all the pieces are there.

The only thing I got from that video is that walking controls the direction of the road on the screen. So... while you walk you can watch the screen...? Does that mean if you hit your head embarrassingly on a pole the car crashes in the game?

You never see the efficiency in it till you're just about to use it and realize it's not there. Just this morning I thought to myself, "wish my Tablet PC had a touch screen, too... then I wouldn't need the pen to press Play on my media player."

The quicktime recording in the making-of vids sounded good. The actual thing... not so much. I wonder if they just sat the camera and mic back for the whole video if it would have sounded better than blazing certain phones in the mic up close. Amazing achievement tho.

If that guy says "uh" just one more time... seriously, I almost stopped listening and started counting how many times he said it.

"a battery good for five hours of movie playback (or ten hours with audio)"

Being kinda picky here, but I think that should read "(or ten hours of audio)"... unless it really does double battery life when you play movies with audio. xD

meh, it's pink, but so what? pick me! pick me!!

Your comment made me shoot soda out my nose. Well done, sir!
