The ball is really rolling now with the Open Pandora project! The video below says it all! Quake 3 really looks stunning. Check out the Open Pandora blog for more pictures and videos.

Open Pandora Working And Portable Unit Demo

Tuesday, March 24th, 2009

Wow. They really know how to prompt second thoughts in respect to netbook purchases!

Open Pandora Prototype Assembly

Saturday, March 14th, 2009

Some great photos of the Pandora Prototype assembly process have been posted on the Open Pandora developer blog. They do, slightly, make me regret blowing my Pandora fund on a Samsung NC10, but sitting here using OSX (albeit with no battery indicator) on a Netbook is an experience in itself. Fingers crossed for Pandora review [...]

Quake 3 On The Pandora

Saturday, March 14th, 2009

As the developers themselves put it, there’s nothing that need be said here. I’ll simply add: wow.

Pandora Themed Menu

Saturday, February 21st, 2009

Another update from the dev-team blog at OpenPandora.org, this video shows a themed matchbox including the ability to re-size icons and font depending on just how well sighted or fat fingered you are.

OpenPandora Blog Updates

Wednesday, January 21st, 2009

There have been a couple of updates to the OpenPandora blog. The first and foremost attempts to clearly explain the difficulties in getting the Pandora to market, which center around the issue with Craig’s bank account being frozen halting their cash flow and preventing them from paying suppliers and manufacturers of crucial parts. In light [...]

Pandora Proto-type Battery Finished

Saturday, January 10th, 2009

Another step in the seemingly endless journey toward a completed Pandora console has been taken. You can head over to the developers blog for a bit of hardcore battery action… okay maybe just a single photo… or you can discuss this new development on the forums. The proto-type battery marks the final piece in the [...]

Unofficial Pandora Renders

Thursday, January 8th, 2009

A recent thread that I missed just got kicked up again on the GP32x forums. “Clean3d” has produced a stunning but not entirely accurate render of the Pandora which gives an impressive and clear preview of the device that far surpasses the official renderings and pictures. You can check out the forum thread for both [...]
