A group of very clever British nerds got together to design an open-source handheld. The result is the Pandora — a button-heavy mini computer that combines the best features from the DS, PSP, and PC in one hefty device.
Internet comedian Stuart Ashen takes a look at it in this lengthy but thorough video review.
The Pandora goes for $500 (USD) but it's more than just another emulation device. It can handle old PC games on top of the typical home console fare. If you're looking for a portable way to play your catalog of old programs, this definitely seems like a viable option. The price is steep, but ordering it right now means your model will be built by the creators themselves.
