Your quoting is broken. It took 3 goes to type this
because I couldn't
find your actual reply.
The Pandora is a gaming toy. It's got a terrible keyboard.
The GDP is one device, it just comes with either Windows or Ubuntu
installed. I think even the specs are the same.
I was say that the "modern" GPD pocket version sucks compared to the
older versions.
if i was designing the next gen, i would start of with a kindle keyboard[2],
clamshell it, then make it smaller
The difference between modern things and the Psion is
of course
battery life. A Psion 5/5mx ran for months on a pair of AAs. A
mini-laptop runs for a few hours.
