ahhhhh, i see where this is coming from now
This is the sequel to the gp32!
Some of the developers who made the GP32 split off from the original company and went on to make the GP2X, basing the unit around a 2D system.
This 'Pandora' is the next one from the original company

No, this is from the same people who did the gp2x.

Okay, you both officially lose.

* The GP32 was from GamePark.
* Gamepark split. What was left was Gamepark (minus some key people), and GamePark Holdings.
* Gamepark Holdings released the GP2X.
* Frustrated with GamePark Holdings' lack of attention for their beloved machine, a group of like-minded GP2X fans got together to design, engineer and fund a new machine. "What the GP2X should be if it were created now" sorta thing.

That machine is the Pandora.

Oh, and
will emulate PS1 games out of the box

Not unless someone writes or ports a PS1 emulator for it and manages to get it to ship with the machine it won't. And what are the chances of that? Still, it should still be perfectly capable of emulating everything you otherwise mentioned to some degree (except PS2 - now you're just taking the piss).
