I have a bit of trouble seeing a use case here, especially for a price tag of 330-400€. If I want linux, a decent screen and a good battery, I'll buy a Chromebook for 200€ and install Linux on it. If I want Linux tools and a small screen, I'll use my Motorola MotoG with GNURoot Debian and a bluetooth keyboard.

- fit2rule 10y agoThis is a portable handheld gaming device with excellent controls, a fantastic hardware design, and most important of all: a simply fantastic community, which will support the device like no other gaming-console manufacturer can. Its open source. There are things happening on this platform that won't happen anywhere else (see: dynamic-recompilation that brings x86 titles to ARM, seamlessly), and its frankly one of the most exciting new platforms for gaming out there. Which portable handheld gaming console has a repo like this - http://repo.openpandora.org/ http://repo.openpandora.org/ ? :)
- justifier 10y agothis is what i hoped the 'oooyeah' would become.. what a train wreck that revealed itself to be i'm glad pandora, now pyra, and community is out there, even if this pyra is out of my price range
- fit2rule 10y agoI think it really matters that the guys behind the Pandora/Pyra are open source enthusiasts, and not only can they talk the talk, but walk it too.. I mean, the thing with the Ooya was that there were just Too Many Suits involved, trying to cash in.. in this case, its techies driving the ship, and well .. it shows! The products are awesome! :)
