Pandora Handheld Linux (Gaming) Computer

Wow, I hadn’t heard of the Pandora Handheld Open Source Linux Computer before. It’s an ARM-based, game-centric clamshell handheld computer. It looks really cool. Maybe I’ll grab one in the second production run.

In addition to being able to run emulators for various classic gaming systems, it is also a fully functioning computer and will be able to run FireFox and other apps. It has WiFi and should also be able to be tethered to a cell phone. Pretty sweet!

I wish it had built-in cameras. Then it might be useful for some research projects at GaTech. I guess USB cameras might still be doable…
