Picture 7 Pandora handheld begins shipping, homebrewers rejoice

Emulation geeks unite! We’ve been hearing about the Pandora (the pocket-size gaming system/mobile internet device) for quite some time and I almost thought it would’ve ended up in Digital Press with the rest of gaming history, but no: it’s alive! Not only that, but the infection is shipping.

Homebrew  games will most likely start spawning like crazy and may encourage the modding community to do some extra work. If it’s a huge success, it may even start becoming a thorn in the side of some of the bigger players in the gaming industry as emulations pop up from people’s basements. It can run Super Mario 64, for Jebus sake!
