ooh, hello... i suppose i should voice out my thoughts on the controller.
The controller is basically a godsend, particularly to me and my i-mate Jam (as the pad doesn't support diagonals). I was surprised at the quality of the controller. I was expecting the garbage quality of all the controllers on the PC market. But since I was so desperate to play games on my phone, I figured I'd give it a whirl. Much to my disbelief, the controller works magically. SNES games play nearly perfect, and a lot of games (such as Anthelion and Flux Challenge) are a lot tastier this time around. All in all, the controller is a great buy... ESPECIALLY for freaking $50 (bastards! i've only had mine for 2 weeks!!)
Any downsides? Of course there are downsides. Most notably, the battery life. This thing will absolutely RAPE your AAA batteries. I believe the battery life is 3 hours, felt like so much less in my opinion. I don't even recall playing with it all that much. My other complaint is that there is a slight delay between button press and on-screen action the further you get from the device. I was hoping to play from a few feet away, but that got deaded pretty quickly. Luckily my Jam fits in the controller, unlike the Axim. :P suckers lol
Anyway, if you're willing to overlook those negatives (plus the fact that you'd have to sit the Axim elsewhere while you hold the controller), then definitely give this piece of work a shot. For me and everyone knowing what a cell phone is (as opposed to a pocket PC), it's great bragging material. "Yo, you have a controller for your phone?!? That's sick!!" Us tech junkies have a reputation to live up to, and I think this makes a wonderful addition to the arsenal.

It looks like some people are considering finding a way to mod it. Maybe if someone is succesful in that then I'll buy it.
