To get back to the issue ;-) I know plenty of people whos main gaming platform is their smartphone (be Android and/or iOS) - and I've NEVER heard of ANYONE who connected an external/alternative controller to their device. Personally I'd would ruin my experience if I couldn't just pull the phone from my pocket and start playing - and if I'd have to remember to bring along the extra controller it would be a deal breaker. There are many many games genres/types that require another controller scheme than the one currently supplied by smartphones - but for those I've placed a pre-order for feb. 22nd ;o) As TreKing said in the very first response: Develop for a different platform or develop a different game. ;o) -- Michael Banzon http://michaelbanzon.com/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
