Actually I beg to differ, I dont think it was pointless - she replied today saying that the 2nd batch WON'T have the warpings or hairline crack issues that teh 1st batch did
I am considering going for both
I emailed Jacqueline over at the sales team to see if they could answer my queries over the 2nd batch and the hairline cracking issues. I do still want one, but will hold fire until I know these minor problems have been resolved. Dont really want to part with...
So the N900 basically can emulate anything The Pandora can?
There are pro's and cons's for both. Without a doubt The Pandora is better for gaming as it's designed that way, with the nubs, etc. Both can browse the internet, the the N900 is a camera and phone. Both are pretty much the same...
I think the N900 can do a bit better than nes games.
Both systems have the "same" processor (600MHz TI OMAP3530 -> overclock to a fast and stable 800MHz), same graphics chip (SGX530), same RAM (DDR 256MB). HOWEVER the N900 can have 1GB RAM (virtual) due to the inclusion of the internal...
Have ALL the Pandora's had the hairline cracks and warpings - some say it was just the early batches, others even the later ones.
Or are there some people out there where it hasnt happened to their Pandora?
Also - as a noob - what would you say are the advantages of purchasing this rather...
Considering it's built in England as well - charging us £50 more than our cousins accross the pond grates a bit.
I really want to order it, that £50 difference would have paid for a TV out, a carry case and a spare battery!
I'm still 50/50 - dont know whether to wait or bite the bullet and...
Cool - just reading the FAQ's - flash could be supported later on which is good - hope that happens
The PS1 emultaor is also swaying me - although I know it's still early times for this one yet.
Bit miffed that it's $349 for the US price but the UK price is £270 - should be about £220 given...
Thanks for the replies
The idea of a pocket size mini PC does appeal to me to be honest. Would you say thats its main selling feature? How good is it for browsing - especially YouTube and streaming websites - cant see any clips on YouTube showing this
Seriously thinking about getting The Pandora - a toss up between this and The Wiz
Mainly want it for Amiga and MAME emulation, as my DS can do the Speccy, SCUMM and C64.
Just a few questions:
1. If I order from the 2nd batch - do they still have some of the design faults I have read...
The Wiz does seem good for the proce, especially if it emulates the Amiga and MAME pretty well - not too hung up on the latest arcade games - talking the 80's classics like Paperboy, OutRun and Ghosts n Goblins
So The Wiz can't do any keyboard based games????
How different is The Wiz to the GP2X F200 - was told that can't emulate anything on MAME more complicated that NEGEO and Amiga emulation runs a bit slow - is this still the same with The Wiz?
What about net browsing or is that just The Pandora?
Unsure whether to go for The Pandora or purchase a WIZ
All I really want is play MAME and Amiga games on a handheld unit - does the WIZ do this well?
Also does the WIZ emulate DOSBOX ok? Especially some of the old skool adventure games.
Of course price is a factor and the WIZ is a hell of a...
Was looking to buy a handheld for retro gaming.
I already have a DS and that emulates the C64, Megadrive, Spectrum, Amstrad, NES and SNES pretty well - so I am in two minds if it is actually worth splashing out the cash on another handheld.
I think it would be to emulate the Amiga and MAME -...
