Pandora Game Console / Handheld PC Nears Launch

"I always knew the Pandora guys were basing the gaming device on Linux and using emulation software, but I had no idea that they were going to also provide a full desktop environment as well. You could say… it’s more of a pocketsize netbook now (about the size of a Nintendo DS). Expected MSRP is $330.

"Feature highlights:
Operating system - Ångström-Linux (Wikipedia states it’s compatible w/ Ubuntu, Gentoo as well)
Desktop evironment – XFCE (works well w/ GTK apps)
CPU – Texas Instruments 600Mhz ARM processor"
