    pity about the touchscreen as it looks like a resistive not capacitive one.

    @Jesus_Jones: Source article confirms it's resistive.
    Why would that matter? Pen works much better on a mouse based UI anyway. (though Win7 is designed to be finger friendly I guess)

    @MarcusMaximus: Adolescent Jesus is fairly indifferent. Hormones, you know. Adult Jesus would've whipped the shit out of you. Dead Jesus would have a blast freaking out his old friends during the resurrection.

    I'm interested in how he is going to do the accelerometer. I've looked into that myself and found no easy solution. Unless I completely missed something, which is possible.

    In my experience, the girls always go for the red one! But that's mine!

    Although my previous girlfriends weren't that great at most video games, they still really enjoyed them. Heck, one of them always did better than me at any game on Super Nintendo.

    I've tried everything to get my wife into gaming...introduced her to WoW, got a Wii, got her a nintendo DS with dogs, etc.

    Seems like the only thing that interests her is watching lame cop dramas, wedding shows, and fashion shows...sigh.

    I love video games but I don't need a pink controller to play. I get so offended by these posts because not all women are high maintenance girls that require pink frilly to get in there with the boys. I have been playing video games all my life, fixing computers, working on cars, cooking and getting dirty. I hate the mall unless its to buy computer parts or video games. maybe I am not typical but I am every bit a girl. and yes, I am single
