Just been released a few days ago, and allegedly it costs around
120GBP, although that doesn't include VAT, shipping or any import
taxes they might hit you with.
This one looks more 'serious' than the previous ones, and includes 3D
hardware, which starts to make it more interesting. The price is
right too.

Looks more interesting, has better connectivity, etc. Probably a
bajillon pounds more though

Doesn't look like these exist to buy yet :-(
The GP2X is interesting because it's the third(?) in the series of
these machines, and so the Korean guys making them have some
experience. Apparently they shipped 60,000 of the previous model, the
GP2X.
Anyway, I do have a bit of a passion for wasting money on these
machines, so maybe I'll get both :-)

There's an unofficial blog charting the development of the Pandora
here:-<br>

Last I heard, the expectation was that these would be around £200-£250.
There have been some issues as they were delayed and people were
refunded less money than they had originally spent because of the Pound
dropping.<br>
<br>
They use internals similar to the Beagleboard that, I believe, someone
here picked up a few months back.<br>
