You remember the Pandora, right? The awesome open source handheld that’s going to play everything from Defender to Quake III? Well, its time is drawing near!

Pocketgamer has an interview with Craig Rothwell, one of the guys in charge of the Pandora project, and it’s an interesting story (if a short interview). The great thing about this project is that it was essentially open source hardware (they got a huge response when they asked for suggestions) but it has a clear design goal so it’s not compromised. I can’t wait to try one out, maybe I’ll play some of those ROM hacks I was talking about the other day.
