“Pandora, the Linux-based handheld game console that is aimed to
take advantage of free and open source software is finally
shipping. After two years of development, the OpenPandora
developers are finally sending out the first completed batch of the
game console to consumers.

“Pandora may look like a slightly bigger Nintendo DS but its
hardware and software architectures are not closed down and it is
open for home-brew development or hacking. It can also serve as a
subnotebook and run as a low-power but full-featured Linux
desktop.”
