Reviewed: Pandora Console
If you're familiar with the original GP2X and GP2X Wiz, the Linux-based handhelds produced by Korean techno-alchemists Game Park Holdings, you'll be acutely aware of just how close they came to greatness; both consoles suffered from compromises that prevented them from truly fulfilling their potential. Interestingly, some of the guys in charge of distributing these two machines internationally felt the same way and back in 2008 they set about creating their own dream machine that would avoid the pitfalls that afflicted those two consoles.
Two years and several broken deadlines later, the Pandora is finally with us. Boasting a 600MHz ARM Cortex-A8 processor, 800×480 4.3in resistive touchscreen, dual analogue control and even built-in Wi-Fi, it's obvious that this device means business. For starters, the Pandora has a physical interface that is comfortable to use. The D-pad and ingenious low-profile analogue nubs are great, and the resistive touchscreen and 43-button keypad further augment the device's input options.
