For those following the development of the Pandora handheld console, an exciting time is upon us. Pre-orders are now being taken for this amazingly small, yet powerful device. The initial batch was supposed to be limited to 3000 units but demand has been so great that Craig (head developer) and co have extended the availability to anyone who orders by this coming Sunday, October 5th. Here are the basic vitals of the device and you can read more about it and pre-order if you’d like on the OpenPandora.org website:

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