The Pandora is not coming from Game Park, it's another project, the people behind it have nearly zero experience in hardware.

I remember someone saying the same thing about SONY about 13 years ago.

The thing is with the Pandora that Gizmondo, Phantom etc hadn't got was the piublic's attention. It's been a long time (thirteen years actually) since I've had consumers asking me about a platform that firstly I hadn't heard anything about about and then latterly looks quite formidable.

Strangely but also harking back to the days when Nintendo and Sega dropped the CD into the gaming domain with great effect, The Pandora seems to have latched onto the home brew, modding, bedroom programmers who were using the PSP so lovingly at it's inception and is exciting the Nintendo DS's expanded consumer base.

As with everything within this industry, it goes full cycle. As demographics expand, format holders struggle to be all things to all people and ultimately it leaves a gate open for someone new to come in to the market place.

Hopefully unlike the majority of it's predecessors it will be more like a SONY entrance to market than a Gizmondo one.

Here's hoping.

Well, Sony had a lot of money, these guys don't ;)
