If this will let me play NES ROM's on my h6315, I would be REALLY REALLY happy. Ever since I got the 6315, I haven't been able to play ROM's because there aren't enough buttons that are assignable on PPC Phones.

I really want to get this, but $100 is a bit steep.
When PS3 and Xbox controllers come out with bluetooth, I wonder if anyone will be able to write up custom drivers to pair them with WM5?

I almost bought it when I was in Hong Kong when I saw it selling for 480 HKD. But held off and got a bluetooth keyboard for 450 instead

I like the concept but the price is too steep for the return. I like playing games on my X50v but not 100 dollars worth especially since I would not be able to connect directly to the device.

Do you guys know if there is something similar for WinXP?
I need something I can easily take to meetings to give demostrations of custom video games. My Tablet pc already has built-in Bluetooth, so something like this would be great as I would not have an ugly attachment sticking out of the computer (image is that important when you are selling computer graphics)
Feo.

Feo.
Are you thinking of something where you can fit the entire tablet in the controller? 8O

I got hold of this today and have written a program to allow it to be used on WinXP. I need to refine it a bit to automatically discover the device (right now it uses a virtual comm port manually configured by the user). Is this useful?
