What do you fellow gamers think about the X3's potential as a good gaming platform (mostly in comparison with the current X5)? Here are my thoughts...
1) Hate the positioning of the speaker! Why in the world would they stick it in the back? Turn your Ax over and see what I mean. Your hand is going to cover it!
2) What's up with the rectangular D-pad? While I must admit I haven't tried a rectangular D-pad, I don't see that it would be very nice for gaming. The buttons also lie in the same linear plane instead of being staggered (I see problems with this too but could be wrong.)
3) Why not give us a bigger 3.7 screen? I drool when I see the size of the screens on the higher-end Ipaqs. Oh well, wishful thinking...
4) Is it just me or is the standard battery not as good as the battery on the X5? According to the specs ours is 1440 amps or whatever and the X3 batteries are only 950 amps (or whatever unit of measurement). What's the deal?
Maybe I'm dead wrong. Maybe the new X3 will be just great for gaming, but I remain skeptical.
