I always thought it was similar to the Zeta Controller. What I was trying to say is that when playing in portait mode, you have two hands resting on the nav pad and the buttons (Clie controller). In landscape mode, you have only one hand on both the pad & buttons and the other holding the top of the pda in place (even though the nav is always pointing north). Unless it swivels--which is something I wanted to avoid. With a small gamepad, ergonomically it would be a nightmare if you play as much as I do.
The ideal hand position is that the left hand be on the joystick and the right be on the buttons(Portrait or Landscape). I'll shoot a picture of the prototype as soon as we can get it done.
