I wonder if there's going to be support for the internet radio station of that name out of the box too. Because that would rock.

On the name or handheld?
Name was... I think we needed a few weeks to find a good one (we think a good one).
I think we started to work on the handheld... February? Something like this.

IIRC, MWeston said that it can't pick up the rotation. sad.gif

Yeah, I confirmed with the manufacturer that it only spins for mechanical reasons. It's too bad as that would have been a killer application, especially with web browsing!

Instead of 2 Analog-Pads you could replace one with an Dial in similar form. wink.gif Racing Games, Arkanoid Games etc. would rule with an Spinner/Dial-thing on the Handheld.

http://pandora.bluwiki.org/

There's always someone who isn't happy, I guess.

Yes, the real name is Pandora. It can't be changed without creating a whirlpool of issues, and besides, it isn't as bad as Craiginator. wink.gif

Everyone's gotta start modding somewhere laugh.gif
I just hope it doesn't look like some uber tech wafer and more like an old school handheld. Never mind if I like the name or not really. But I dont wink.gif

Nope, it isn't smile.gif

From wikipedia:

In Greek mythology, Pandora was the first woman. Each god helped create her by giving her unique gifts. Zeus ordered her creation as a punishment for mankind, in retaliation for Prometheus' having stolen fire and then giving it to humans for their use. She is most famous for carrying a jar (pithos) (or box) containing all the world's evils. This is also thought as the only power to kill a God for a mortal. She releases these evils, and tries to close the lid but it is too late. Along with these evils came Hope, Humanity's only salvation.

Well, basically, if you still consider the creation of women as a punishment... smile.gif
Her box is sad and bad, but not the woman itself smile.gif

Yes, I had a quick WIKI-visit to. smile.gif PANDORA also is a very beautiful Woman. Well, we have the first Female Handheld. GameBOY will be happy! biggrin.gif
And as long the EVIL of the BOX will come over the other Consoles like PSP&Co. I can live with it.
