Game Controller for Axim
From what I've read in the forums, it doesn't look like there are any controllers available for the x30 (please correct me if I'm wrong) besides the thumb board on Dell's website. I was thinking we could get a petition going for Dell to make a game controller for the axims. What do you guys think?

That sounds like a great idea to me. My fingers are too big to use the D-pad effectively.

that should be great to have a gamepad because with it we could use correctly FpseCE, pocketSNES and morphgear...I would like to have one but I just don't think Dell will make something like that...Maybe a 3rd party brand...who knows?

see you

yeah, and wouldn't a serial one not use as much power as a bluetooth controller?

maybe about the power issue, but a serial cable is easy to make, compared to making a bt interface

It looks like the keyboard is eating the PDA.

Hee, now -that- is an image, I can see the news story...

"Ravenous Keyboard devours PDA! Film at 11!"

Seriously though, that is one lame piece of hardware. I'd sign a petition for a legitimate gamepad.
