as said the openpandora is not for everyone just as the X1000 aint for everyone and loads of people think that is to expensive...
I rather like them both.
The Pandora is a great way to get all that old PC/Amiga/Atari/console goodness in a portable format that can plug into my telly. Great space saver. As for Android emulators, meh, it starts to get a bit too messy for my liking when I need to add a proper gamepad and keyboard. Sometimes it's just a whole lot easier to say screw it, I have a stack of consoles I can sell so I don't much care about the extra cash it costs. Still, it's £428 in UK cash for the latest model and that's a good way towards a 3D digital printer.
At the end of the day I have a lot of respect for the product and if I was a richer man I'de buy one but my priorities just don't quite allow me to do it. Hmmm.... I guess it is just like the X1000.
