Pandora Console Ready For Pre-Orders 309

Croakyvoice writes "Finally, months after the official announcement, 3,000 lucky people can now pre-order Pandora, possibly the world's fastest handheld console. It boasts a processor capable of up to 900 MHZ, PowerVR 3D graphics, a large 800x480 LCD touchscreen, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, USB, dual SD card slots, TV out, dual analogue and digital controls, a clamshell DS Lite-style shape, and a 43-button mini keyboard. The console already boasts an amazing amount of ready-for-release software such as Ubuntu and many full-speed emulators for systems such as Snes, Amiga, Megadrive, and many more that are not publicly announced yet. The console is as powerful as the original Xbox and on a par with the Nintendo Wii. Those interested should visit OpenPandora.Org. For the full history of Pandora from inception until the present, check out the Pandora Homebrew Site."

Submission + - How do i start programming? 2

abcjared writes: I'm in my last year of school hoping to go onto uni.
I have learnt many programming languages ( asm, c, c++, java, perl, php, python, etc..) but most of them from very old and outdated books. I have often tried to get into a programing project but I just don't have enough experience with any of these languages and crumble under lots of syntax errors.

I want to help out some simple open source projects but I don't know where to start?
