{{Quote|Only two more months now!|[[You]]}}

The '''Pandora''' is a [[handheld]] [[computer]], built to run [[Linux]] on [[ARM]]. It's as capable as most [[netbook]]s, but is only slightly larger than a [[Nintendo DS|DS]]! It has an 800x480 resolution [[touchscreen]], a full set of [[gaming controls]] and dual [[analog stick]]s, and a stripped down [[QWERTY]] [[keyboard]], so you can use it for pretty much anything you'd do on just about any other piece of hardware, provided the [[CPU]] and [[RAM]] requirements work out.

It's also completely open - yes, probably the first time the term "[[open source]]" was applied to [[hardware]]. But how could such a thing possibly exist? Of course: it's made not by a company, but by a small organisation that set themselves up out of their dream to see such a thing made. But since it's not by a company, there's the downside that all sorts of manufacturing issues crop up, so the sad reality is that 90% of people who ordered a Pandora still haven't gotten theirs yet - and they've been waiting since ''[[2008]]''!

Recently, [[Craigix]] decided to offer a [[deal]] to [[Fundraiser|raise money]] so that they could hire extra people and get the damn things made faster: $500 (or $170 if you've already bought it) to [[jump the queue]] and get your Pandora within 7 days! This offer was very quickly retracted, presumably after they raised however much money they were aiming for.

Oh well, it'll still be really awesome when it finally arrives... and it's only two more months now~!
