Ya know, before the SP, I had always thought an analog stick wouldn't really be theasible, but considering the fold up design, the stick can now be well protected just like the screen from damage while carrying it about. A short one that could fit inside that fold can now be possible without worries of breakdown. Anyway, just a random thought. I will say that the touch screen could very well serve the purpose of an analog stick. In an FPS though, I think it would be almost too easy to aim and shoot that way...
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
