I wonder how hard it would be for a third party to
make a mini-trackball as a little snap-on to the
base of the Treo? The driver could even shoehorn
in by translating the movement of the trackball into
cleverly-arranged combinations of touchscreen events.
That should get us the same result, including variable
speed!

Or it could translate (more coarsely) into 5-way
keypresses; in that case it should use a shorter
and softer "click" sound than the keypress one.
