At first, it looks like a good solution to provide a D-pad and four buttons in either vertical or horizontal layout.  <br><br>Upon closer inspection, the lower (or right-hand) cluster of buttons next to the main D-pad are the Android system keys, including the Home button which is UNMAPPABLE to any game software.  It is impossible in any Android program to map that cluster of buttons to four in-game actions, because the one labeled home will always quit back to the home screen.  I'm not sure what the open circle is, but if it's the lock button then that's another key that cannot be locked by standard software (though it is technically possible with an invasive hack, I'd be surprised if I ever see a game developer do it).]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[chefgon_ign]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 29th 2009 4:02PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Android-based ODROID handheld available for pre-order]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/29/android-based-odroid-handheld-available-for-pre-order/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/29/android-based-odroid-handheld-available-for-pre-order/</guid><description><![CDATA[Gees, and you guys harped on PSP Go for being too expensive.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Extinction]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 29th 2009 6:08PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Android-based ODROID handheld available for pre-order]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/29/android-based-odroid-handheld-available-for-pre-order/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/29/android-based-odroid-handheld-available-for-pre-order/</guid><description><![CDATA[Wonder... wonder...
