OK first of all where did this come form all of a sudden?
Secondly, I cannot afford yet another open source handheld already!
GamePark's GP2X Caanoo handheld hits this August, picks up where the Wiz left off.

In this video I revisit the Gp2x Wiz handheld Linux device and show the improvements in the software that have been made since the summer of 2009. It is filmed in 720p HD footage so make sure you watch the fully encoded version to get a good idea of the picture quality the Wiz has to offer. I think the HD video really shows off the quality of the screen. Be sure to select the HD option from within the player.

Add another platform, Pandora, to the growing list of open source portable gaming platforms. Personally, as part of my handheld arsenal, I'm an owner of a GP2X F-200 and have mixed feelings about what is presently the most popular open source multimedia handheld (along with its sibling, the F-100). On the one hand it's very versatile and does well with a wide variety of emulators, while on the other hand it's a battery hog and the end user is left to his own devices to pretty much do anything (like install programs). "Pandora", while presently tracking to be double the price (around $320 US versus the F-200's $170), looks to have a tremendous all-in-one design with helpful features like an onboard keyboard and multiple controls, superficially making it seem like a superior option for running emulators overall, even if one may need a small cash advance to purchase it. Still, it all comes down to developer support, which the GP2X handhelds have in spades. If Pandora works as advertised, no doubt support will ramp up quickly and we may very well have a new "alternative handheld" leader. I know I'd eventually be onboard if it was a little easier on the end user side to install and run software, not to mention if it featured intelligent battery life management. We'll be keeping an eye on this one...
