Well, it'd launch the Pandora outside of the hobbyist market and into mainstream usage if Moblin was an option. It looks a lot easier to use than the current incarnation of E17 shown in the latest video, and probably has more immediate usefulness to most people than a desktop DE on a DS-sized...
I cannot think of a more perfect match for the Pandora, software-wise.
Modded to have a games tab, and it would be perfect. It's even designed with the same/similar aspect ratio in mind, and would be wonderful with the touchscreen.
Here's a video (clicky)
Blimey, I've been out of the loop for a while (tracking the unofficial blog every so often) ... I come back and wham! We have a working, independent Pandora!

I'm waiting until the second batch or beyond now, because:
- The delay to April-ish was past what I could tolerate for such a project.
- I want to see how the Pandora will compare with the speculated next-gen ARM netbooks and Android phones being announced this summer. Archos has already...
If Chip was willing to be on the blog team, I'd invite him immediately. I agree that his PR job is probably too time-consuming to take a position on the blog team.
Looks like 2 places are taken, possibly. Phawx, it seems the situation you're in doesn't really lend yourself to blog posting.
PoisonedV, do you want a place? I can't tell by your ambiguous postings...
As some of you may have noticed, TaG and I have been posting less and less on the unofficial blog lately. We don't really feel this is fair on the community, but we have other commitments. TaG and I are unfortunately unable to order from the first batch, as well as having our own separate...
