Comment on The reality of the Ouya console doesn’t match the hype

Comments

I don't get why Ouya is such a hot story right now, but Open Pandora is not?

http://openpandora.org/

The Pandora can do all of the things Ouya dreams about (already has done it), has a working software eco-system, has an app-store in place, and heck .. the Pandora even has its own development tools onboard. All you need to develop for Pandora is available: on the Pandora.

So I think this Ouya thing is one thing altogether (Hype circle), but the Pandora .. its not getting the love it deserves. Honestly, I couldn't be more excited for a next-generation gaming platform architecture than I am for the Pandora ..

That thing is atrocious. I don't mind this whole "open" movement, but that hardware is just not desirable. Is it a joke of some sort? The linux screenshot is just...weird.

Its a lot lovelier once you've got it in your hands and realize its actually very, very comfortable to hold for hours on end - unlike iPads/iPhones/most other mobile devices.
