Nope, shipping is about £70 on ebay for example, i could buy a new alienware M11x from the US for less than £700, Yet one of the same spec will cost £1000 or over here.

Biggest problem with the Caanoo is there is simply not enough people to make anything for it, the primary development focus has been on the Pandora so far... which is way too expensive for one such as me.

Power wise it has Double ram and a 3D GPU. but has same level CPU as the Wiz.
But in terms of build quality it almost feels very first party, The analog stick is a wonder to use and so far has been comfortable to use even for Platformers. and is easily the best of it's kind on a handheld (maybe even better then the Neo Geo Pocket's stick)

I would wait till the SNES emulation on the Caanoo improves, as it really sucks right now. before ordering a Caanoo

Hopefully we get a full release of the Gemei 330 (Dingoo successor) soon (The dingoo 330 that looks like a PSP is fake from what i hear.)

You can get emulators on Android phones. I was messing around with Pokemon on the GBA emulator. I didn't like not having buttons to play though. The touchscreen controls are a huge turn off.

Yeah. Some android phones do have full hardware keyboards though but they tend to be a neglected addition which bugs me as I hate touch screen. You can also get Gameboy+colour, NES, SNES, Megadrive (aka Genesis), Master System, Scumm VM & N64 & Playstation, though the latter 2 are difficult to play and the compatability is shaky.

I mostly use mine for GBA & Snes RPGS. The oid series (gameboid, snesoid etc) seem to be the most polished of the ones available on the market.

Want a handheld that plays old games? Well here ya go...

Countless hours of tetris on this, Plugged in to the mains 24/7 :p

Well nice to see that somebody has a sense of humor on here. Honestly though, I never had a Gameboy.... a Gameboy Advance.... but never a Gameboy. I did play some Gameboy classics on the GBA though. Link's Awakening (it is actually my favorite Zelda game) & Pokemon being the two that instantly spring to mind. It had some damn good games considering all things.

Sounds good been looking into these and it looks like a great piece of kit, Have you tried any of the gog games on it or more to the point would it be able to handle them?

Well, I managed to get vbag working on my nokia N80

And most importantly.... Picodrive :D

Alien 3 and road rash all day!

I'm probably missing some other working computer games so don't take this as all-inclusive, but...

The DOS-based games should work within the Pandora version of DOSBox. I haven't tried to play any yet due to my lack of knowledge regarding manuevering within Linux (I have DOSBox working well on Win 7) but I will eventually tackle this.

Additionally, the interactive fiction games (Zork, Hitchhiker's Guide, etc.) do work well in Gargoyle (just copy the .dat file and rename the extension to something [can't recall off the top of my head]). I have not been able to get either Zork 0 or Beyond Zork (I can't recall which) to work because it's set up as an .exe (should work in DOSBox, though).

Many of the point-and-click adventures (the Sierras and Myst, for instance) work fine using the Pandora version of ScummVM. I've also been able to run 7th Guest and Loom using this route.

Finally, some of the "big-ass" RPGs (Baldur's Gate and, I think, Icewind Dale) are supposed to work using GemRB. I can't speak for this directly (yet) but people on the Pandora boards have reported success.

For all of the above, you need the data files from either the original disks or (wait for it...) the installed GOG files.

So, to answer your original question, the Pandora appears to be able to handle many of the games GOG sells.
