Despite being developed on a shoestring budget, the Pandora boasts the most powerful handheld processing power currently available - without the source code restrictions the other systems shackle themselves with. This is a machine that's designed to be supported by the open source development community, and being Linux-based, that's a broad spectrum of developers already lining up to get their hands on it.

- ARM Cortex-A8 600Mhz+ CPU running Linux
- 430-MHz TMS320C64x+ DSP Core
