This is cheaper, and I do not care for the case that Pandora is in. The Pandora is basically a SLOW EEPC with some integrated joysticks, minus an MMU - and it's just as pricey. I'll have to admit that "Snake on Dope" is kind of stupid, but I really don't care what integrated software they have. I'm looking only at the hardware. With a USB stick, this thing is pretty easy to turn into wifi device, and it wouldn't be hard to get IP telephony working on it either. I’ll be getting this instead of the Pandora.

Previous GP2Xs had a 3.5 inch screen (measured diagonally) and 2.8 inch is similar to that of the Nintendo GBA. I'm moving onto the <a href="http://openpandora.org/" rel="nofollow">Pandora</a> (200 GBP / 355 USD) which is much better specced but this still looks interesting for 130 GBP / 230 USD, similar to previous models.
