Has anyone heard about a game controller for Palm devices? Something similar to the PEG-GC10 unit for Clies, but one with a Universal Connector so we can enjoy true Gameboy-esque controls for games like DigDug ;)


Hey, maybe we can hack a GC10 and put a Universal Connector on it? Ideas anyone?

You know I have forgotten all about my Sony game controller.
I think that even though the T3 can accommodate playing games it isn't really geared up to be a toy like the Sony's are.
The Sony's even though they are useful as tools have been built to have a larger appeal to 3 audiences.
1. People who require organizer apps.
2. People who want multimedia apps.
3. People interested in having a PDA to play games while traveling...
I dont think that the PEG-GC10 could be converted to work on a Palm...
Looking at it, it would be to bulky even if you could build a connector that would convert the plug configuration between the two PDA's.
Interesting idea though...
But then again where would you attach it to???
With a Sony you can slide it up on the bottom, and it appears as if it is one piece...
You know what I mean?
But you always could write Palm and ask them if they are interested in your idea to create a game controller for their products...
They would enlarge their prospective customer base if they produced an add-on item like a controller so who knows...
