Greetings!

Open-source gaming goes commercial with Wiz handheld

Though sales of the Nintendo DS and the PlayStation Portable are strong, there are many who use the devices exclusively for homebrew applications. While some of these homebrew devices or homebrew-enabling schemes are looked upon less than favorably by the big manufacturers, such as the infamous R4 flash cart for the DS, there are some companies who see the value in releasing devices capable of homebrew software. Enter the Wiz, a new open-source handheld gaming unit from GamePark Holdings.

Pandora targeting Wiz in open-source gaming handheld war

Designed specifically to improve upon GamePark's GP handhelds, which also include the forthcoming Wiz, Pandora opts not to minimize computing power for the sake of portability. The unit features an ARM Cortex-A8 600MHz CPU as well as a 128MB of RAM, 256MB of internal Flash memory, and 3D OpenGL ES 2.0 compliant hardware. The unit boasts a full QWERTY keyboard as well as two analog sticks, a directional pad, and a number of game-specific input buttons as well as a 4.3" touch-sensitive LCD screen with a resolution of 800x483. Integrated Wi-Fi 802.11b/g, Bluetooth, dual SDHC slots, and a removable 4000MaH battery round out the feature set.

Pandora beats Wiz on specs though, but looks a tad cumbersome.
