I guess I'm just used to my Touch Pro's shitty ass graphics performance, thanks to HTC's ineptitude; also partially brought about because Qualcomm has the audacity to actually charge manufacturers to utilize proper drivers on their chipsets.]]>Jun 14th 2009 7:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/14/pre-gets-nes-emulation-in-linux-our-thumbs-are-in-for-a-world-o/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/14/pre-gets-nes-emulation-in-linux-our-thumbs-are-in-for-a-world-o/Jun 14th 2009 11:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/14/pre-gets-nes-emulation-in-linux-our-thumbs-are-in-for-a-world-o/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/14/pre-gets-nes-emulation-in-linux-our-thumbs-are-in-for-a-world-o/Jun 14th 2009 11:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/14/pre-gets-nes-emulation-in-linux-our-thumbs-are-in-for-a-world-o/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/14/pre-gets-nes-emulation-in-linux-our-thumbs-are-in-for-a-world-o/

I can't believe I forgot the B and the A!

It really has been a long time. Good times, good times...

The developers of the new Contra should include that code into the new game!

You can always close the keyboard and use it like an iPhone. And the screen, while smaller, is the same resolution as the iPhone.

For using it iPhone-style, though, the pre is thicker, so I'm not sure if that'll make iPhone-style controls less comfortable.]]>Jun 14th 2009 3:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/14/pre-gets-nes-emulation-in-linux-our-thumbs-are-in-for-a-world-o/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/14/pre-gets-nes-emulation-in-linux-our-thumbs-are-in-for-a-world-o/Jun 14th 2009 7:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/14/pre-gets-nes-emulation-in-linux-our-thumbs-are-in-for-a-world-o/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/14/pre-gets-nes-emulation-in-linux-our-thumbs-are-in-for-a-world-o/Jun 14th 2009 9:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/14/pre-gets-nes-emulation-in-linux-our-thumbs-are-in-for-a-world-o/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/14/pre-gets-nes-emulation-in-linux-our-thumbs-are-in-for-a-world-o/Jun 14th 2009 11:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/14/pre-gets-nes-emulation-in-linux-our-thumbs-are-in-for-a-world-o/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/14/pre-gets-nes-emulation-in-linux-our-thumbs-are-in-for-a-world-o/Jun 14th 2009 11:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/14/pre-gets-nes-emulation-in-linux-our-thumbs-are-in-for-a-world-o/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/14/pre-gets-nes-emulation-in-linux-our-thumbs-are-in-for-a-world-o/Jun 14th 2009 7:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/14/pre-gets-nes-emulation-in-linux-our-thumbs-are-in-for-a-world-o/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/14/pre-gets-nes-emulation-in-linux-our-thumbs-are-in-for-a-world-o/

Good point, the iphone keyboard is much better for gaming!! ..... Oh wait ... ??? ]]>Jun 14th 2009 4:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/14/pre-gets-nes-emulation-in-linux-our-thumbs-are-in-for-a-world-o/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/14/pre-gets-nes-emulation-in-linux-our-thumbs-are-in-for-a-world-o/
All they said was, "the Pre keyboard sucks and is pretty much unuseable."

They DID NOT say "the iPhone's keyboard is better".

They DID NOT say "the iPhone's keyboard can be used for gaming."

Are you people of such limited mind that you can only conceive of "bad or good" and nothing in between? Do you not realise that a person can simultaneously believe that the Pre's keyboard sucks and the iPhone's does also, to a lesser or greater degree? My goodness, are you children? Disdain for one device *does not* equal praise for an arbitrarily-selected (arbitrarily selected by you) competitor! It's basic reasoning!

You might have well as assumed that they were praising the G1's keyboard, or the keyboard of the Omnia, or the BlackBerry, or any other smartphone out there! I'll say it again - disdain for one device does not equal praise for a competitor that you've arbitrarily selected out of thin air!

Judge people on what they actually say and *not* on the words that YOU put in their mouth.]]>Jun 14th 2009 11:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/14/pre-gets-nes-emulation-in-linux-our-thumbs-are-in-for-a-world-o/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/14/pre-gets-nes-emulation-in-linux-our-thumbs-are-in-for-a-world-o/Jun 15th 2009 2:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/14/pre-gets-nes-emulation-in-linux-our-thumbs-are-in-for-a-world-o/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/14/pre-gets-nes-emulation-in-linux-our-thumbs-are-in-for-a-world-o/
