    They just missed 1 thing important in gamepad : comfort to hold it for longer time.
    It is just too small to hold it with 2 hand .. unless a young child ofc.

    It's meant more for on the go use, not as a full on pad. Perfect to go with a netbook on trips.

    Interesting concept, not sure how practical it will be though. Id just pack a PS3 controller or if I needed max portability a wiimote.

    Agreed, bluetooth hacks go along way for my lappy, for emulators that is, most current games play better on pc with a mouse. That said im not a fan of keyboard use so I bought this Tuact.com. Its a mousing device originally meant for consoles, but I use it on my pc all the time, I can review if someone would like, it sitting somewhere in my docs.
