Ah it seems most of us are waiting, I had a look at the “app” website for it and there seems very little in the way of non-emulated stuff on there.

Might need to learn something to tweak dosbox. I have a n900 with a similar processor to the openpandora and dosbox is SLOW. Well too slow to play Master of Orion 2 thats for sure.

Time to port everything to ARM now!

Preordered a Pandora, but have not received mine yet. I plan on web browsing, movie watching, and gaming when it arrives.

I’ve got one. I mostly use it for for scummVM to play Beneath a Steel Sky right now, although I also play some Commander Keen with it. I think the real fun is going to happen after the first batch is entirely delivered (only about 650 people have theirs now – the full first batch is 4000). People will start creating more homebrew games, which is what really interests me.

oh yes, and web browsing. I use it for that, too.

I’ve got one pre-ordered, although I plan to use it more as a pocket-sized Netbook that can also play games if needed than as a dedicated game console. It’s going to be replacing my EEE 701 much moreso than my DS.

I’ve god one a bit different, a Dingoo A-320. I plan to port my game for it, and also hope it is not hard to port to other ones, such as Pandora.
