Reminds me of the old Amiga Joyboard! :-)

@19, thanks for the info. I suspected the two consoles couldn't play together but wasn't sure. It kind of sucks to split up the community like that when it isn't really necessary.

Would 360 and PS3 players be able to play online together?

Huh? Who said the new PalmOS wouldn't look like the old one? From what I remember when they announced going to the linux kernel they basically said it will be the same user experience just with a different kernel underneath allowing new features (the little PalmOS 6 stuff we have seen looks a bit different but not radically). I've been following things and don't recall any indication of a new look and feel and personally don't think it is needed. The main difference I see with ALP is that it sounds like we can have 3 types of apps coexisting which may all look and feel different (I don't know) -- PalmOS, GTK+, and MAX whatever that is. It will be interesting to see how these are integrated.

I'm not sure a virtual clickwheel on a touch screen would be very nice. Seems like it would be awkward without some tactile feedback to keep your finger in the circle.
