Description: Pandora Open Source 1GHz Edition

  • The smallest portable Linux PC for browsing, gaming, coding, emulating and more.

Great news, folks! Pandora's Box has been opened and it contains all the wisdom of the universe in the form of this fabulous little handheld!

Handhelds give you the best combination of functionality and size/convenience to gainfully use otherwise wasted time on journeys an in waiting rooms with a round or two of Mario or Tetris! But a true geek needs more than just a games console – individuality, features and the general 'cool factor' are way more important, right? Step forward, the Pandora...

The Pandora is an extremely portable, Linux-based computer. Its main focus is on games, but there is no limit for its applications – remote admin. (RDP, SSH, VNC etc.), watching movies, videos, listening to music, working on documents... The most important feature of Pandora is that it's Open Source, which allows you to modify it. An active community provides not only free applications and games but also helps you with your questions and any issues – most of them already answered an easily found in a Wiki. Additionally, you can submit a request in the Open Pandora's Support Center.

Thanks to Open Source there are no limits. You can individualize your Pandora so it fulfils all of your specific needs. This requires a bit of programming knowledge, but even if you don't want to mess around, the Pandora is designed to remain easy to use: Thanks to the special *'.pnd' format, designed specifically for the Pandora, installing programs and apps, for example, is really easy. Just download the ones you want (via Wi-Fi or another computer) and store them on the SD card. That's it.

Many emulators make it possible for you to play classic and beloved games such as Tetris, Pokémon or Zelda. What's more, the Pandora can also be used for work – and by that we mean more than just the break-times ;)! There are numerous applications to code, edit or write office files, check e-mails or to monitor finances. As we already said, almost anything is possible with this little baby!

Open Pandora's Box to find the handheld itself, a power adaptor and accumulator, and also a pen for the touch screen (a bit hidden though, stored in the back of the Pandora. Simply pull out).
