Yaustar (http://www.gp32x.com/board/index.php?act=ST&f=62&t=40506) posted this excerpt which suggests that the gizmondo may rival the Pandora:
From MCV magazine:
Gizmondo will rival DS and PSP, says new team... no, honestly.
"We can compete with DS and PSP. An open platform offers something new." Ian Murphy, Plextek
"Little is known about the new iteration, but Plextek technical director Ian Murphy told MCV it would be a fully open platform, allowing amateur developers to create and share homemade titles.
...
"There's no reason we can't compete. An open platform will offer something that other handhelds can't"

It does make me wonder how much research they have done on previous non-mainstream handhelds and how close they are to release.
On the side, since this is getting a lot of media attention, the marketing of the Pandora can piggy back on the whole 'open platform' aspect if they can get in before the Gizmondo since it is what it is most likely to be compared to.
