"Before we go any further, we'd like to inform this here Telson UMPC that if Pandora can finally get out of the starting blocks, so can you. "

Agree. Sort of: I get the starting blocks reference (horse racing,) but the 'so can you' part, not so much.

I'll give it a try translating:
Before we go any further, we'd like to inform that this here Telson UMPC, that if Pandora can finally get out of the starting blocks, so can you.

nope, still no go.

Before we go any further, we'd like to inform that Telson is looking to get this UMPC into your hands, that if Pandora can finally get out of the starting blocks.

That's better!

I finally figured it, they are wanting to inform the Telson UMPC "that if Pandora can finally get out of the starting blocks, so can you" (you referring to Mr. Thompson UMPC, not the reader, that's where you were getting confused).

I get it now, it really threw me for a bit. I didn't realize he was talking to the device instead of talking about it. Face Palm. Blond moment( and I'm ginger)

Let me make it very simple:

Pandora > Telson UMPC

Your joke wasn't remotely funny.

(It had to, sorry.)

"It had to, sorry"

That's what you said (to her all too quick disappointment).

"quick disappointment"

they have treatments for that

"they have treatments for that" yeah... that's what she said :))

"yeah.."

That's what she really said.

Just look at that d-pad. I can tell right now its the same kind they put on the games that come in cereal boxes.
while i like the idea, it seems a tad bit big for a gaming hand held, and small for a computer.
also ps1 emulation is a no go, due to the lack of analog sticks.

Well, do you want an slightly lower-performance ARM machine that'll run for about 5-12 hours on its 4000mAh battery or a higher-perfomance x86 machine that'll likely run for about 2-4 hours?

2-4 hours kill's it im going for a pandora. but wootman you can alway put a digital psp "analog" stick on it. (look up dual psp nub)

You can't really make a fair comparison without knowing battery life or price. I can guarantee that the former will be much lower, and the latter much higher for the Telson than the Pandora. Exactly how much of a difference exists is anybody's guess.

Pandora is guaranteed to have a very strong, active development community dedicated to it and its creators promise that the gaming controls will be top notch. The Cube appears to be just another Korean handheld gaming system so who knows if its gaming controls will be any good or if the open source community will give it any love. If it is priced well, it might do alright. Since it runs XP, you could probably install emulators and play homebrew that is already made for Windows as long as it'll run on these specs. I could use a few more details on this though: SDHC slot(s), sholder buttons, Wifi, touchscreen (I hope)?

this was meant to be a reply to clak.. damn you engadget for your comment system!

That's what I thought. I HAD a vega, used it quite a bit (made a great GPS system and also was great for uploading photographs in the field and travel email checking) but it broke. I've been meaning to see if it can be fixed.

This looks almost exactly like it if someone squished it in the middle.
