Yes, of course. But they can also do it on the DS or PSP, it's nothing new.
But I would like the idea to see commercial games by these homebrew coders on handhelds, even in the Pandora
Prophet posted this over at gp32x forums and id like to see the reactions here to his opinion:
I was just looking over the PowerVR SGX info (http://www.imgtec.com/powervr/produc.../SGX/index.asp) and it occured to me that the Pandora could be a nice testing platform for professional 3D handheld game development. It would have a small, technically inclined community of users - a perfect team of unpaid but enthusiastic testers.
So I wonder - would it be attractive for professional teams to use the Pandora as a testbed? Releasing concept builds of games, and/or even betas and even RC's as they approach final builds for commercial platforms (i.e. PSP, DS, phones etc.)?
Just a thought... I know we have a few such people around here, so I wonder what they think?
I realize the Capcoms and EA's of the world aren't going to do such a thing, but for smaller independent devs and contractors, it might be a fun and useful way to test ideas and code on a small hobbyist community.

Hell yeah. Make the players the beta testers.
