Screen compared to Pandora

Nice, Mark! It really does have a dynamite screen. Do you think the Pandora will have a screen like that?

The screen is amazing. In daylight and in darkness it is very bright and clear. It has an enormous viewable angle. With a single colour solid fill on the screen you see a little grain which is normal in this type of screen. As the screen is relatively small the 320x240 resolution has a very small dotpitch making the screen very very crisp.
The emulators I've shown in the video are all running full speed - zero frameskips apart from the original gameboy emulator (lemonboy). It is very much like playing the real thing - speed wise - without any hiccups or other emulation weirdness sometimes experienced with emulators.

The Pandora won't feature an OLED screen but will offer a very high resolution and a bigger screeen size. Dotpitch wise it will be of comparable clarity. Viewing angle will be less and colors less bright but a great screen nevertheless. It is hard to speculate as I haven't seen the real Pandora yet. The Pandora will probably ship the end of this summer.
