The problem that I see with a virtual keypad (besides the lack of tactile feedback) \
is that the screen can only handle one button press at a time. Most games require \
at least a d-pad and action button to be accessible at the same time in order to be \
playable. Pacman doesn't though :-D.
Perhaps something workable can be thought up, though. Personally, I thought it \
might be fun to use the bluetooth connection to talk to a Nintendo Wii controller, \
but those are as big as the Neo...

There are some good java games for movile phone out there than can be executed \
with jlimo. I was able to run some games in the dosbox in jlime so I supuse that a \
lot of oldies pc games can be runned in neo too.
About the key thing, despite we loose part of the screen, I supose it can be \
relatively easy to implement an alternative keyboard as the included one but only \
with 8 directional keypad (this keypad willbe an 8 "swiched" one but can evolve to \
analogic) and two buttons A B as fire ,jump etc...

I think that would need something more powerful than what we have anyway wouldn't it?
Would be very happy to see somebody get 3D working though =)
It could be fun to see how app developers would exploit it, let alone
having 3D games... I was about to say someone should port some gameboy
emulator or something, since we do have 2D, but then the button thing
hit me =P
