This may have been brought up befora, but I saw Ashen's review of this beauty and I thought I'd pass it along:

Ashen's Review (warning: quite long):

I'm sure you're all going to point out that it has been done before/ better/ more impressively elsewhere and I really can't say one way or the other since I'm not really in tune with these things, but it looked really bloody impressive. And what's more: 10+ hours of battery life? Gimme, gimme!

I'd love to have access to my GOG catalogue through one of these.

I'm getting one, but I've been in que for well over 2 years at this point. I'm not aware of any device that does what the pandora does with the controls it has at present.

And that's a big plus. Unfortunately, whether the price is justified or not, it's expensive and I cannot afford one right now since I want to buy a new lens for my camera.

I plan to get one in the summer, going to wait for some of the emulators to improve in design quality that are currently functioning reasonably well.

If they are successful in somehow getting a saturn or dreamcast emulator to work at a playable level I will snap one up

I've been following this project for what feels years. Probably because it is. And if I already didn't want one, this review would have persuaded me :) Still, too expensive for me. Oh well, one day.

About Dreamcast emulation...don't hold you breath, it's pretty bad on Linux. I've never tried emulating Saturn, is it poor as well?

imo yes:

I just picked up a Dreamcast this past week for forty bucks, VMU and all. I'm burning a couple of games until I can order a few (crap selection around here) but it's my favorite system of EVER.

Yeah same I did enjoy mine a ton, I believe I have had one on 3 different occasions. Im not optimistic either about it having a fully compatable emulator, But if it did it would turn from a want to a necessity.

Saturns cpu design makes it hard to emulate, Id pay to be able to play guardian heroes and die hard arcade again though.

Or maybe a 3do I never could get one due to the price

Eventually it will run out of patent protection and somebody will probably release a clone that's fully compatible. Or at least that's happened with the NES, SNES and Genesis.

I don't see why the Dreamcast is so hard to emulate myself. I mean, call my stupid, but the thing runs WINDOWS for crissakes, and I know for a fact there are several games that were simply ported zero change over from computers of the time to the system, so not being able to emulate it's kinda crap.

I've never seen a 3D0 in real life, but I've heard they were pretty cool, if way underutilized.

It runs Windows CE (the base for PocketPC, Windows Mobile, and now Windows Phone), which is no more Windows than whatever they call the OSes on the XBox and XBox 360. Yes it shares some code, yes it shares some programming interfaces. But they're nowhere near the same OS as desktop Windows and applications compiled for one cannot run on the other (the same code may be compiled for both, but they're not binary compatible - not to mention they run on completely different hardware).
