Joystick for Visor Coming Soon
As part of positioning the Visor as a gaming platform, Handspring announced today that they will be releasing the GameFace, a faceplate with joystick and buttons that fits on the front of the Visor. It will come with a free game, Astraware's Zap!2000. Versions for most Visors should be available by the end of this year, while one that fits the Prism is expected early next year. The GameFace joystick will support most Palm OS-enabled games and cost $40.

Uhh, ok
I can think of possible designs that would allow the layout to have both buttons on the same side.
RE: Uhh, ok
It's just an overlay with no electronics under it. So, the address book up/down and tasks make up the directionals and the other 2 buttons are the action keys.
If it were a device that plugged into the port on the bottom of thevisor, they could have made it look more like a nintendo gameboy.
Gaming bundle..
Oh, and I forgot to mention Nintendo. Their 56-colour player has met its match.
It's a start
$40!?!
I can buy REAL analog joystick with decent force-feedback for my PC for that much...
yet another add on that's priced WAAAAY too high.
is it worth?
I will spend my time and money on the pc game.
the game on palm is just for killing time.
I think so.
RE: is it worth?
Buttons still wearing out?
I'm assuming Gameface's pad and buttons just pushes down on the existing buttons and the wearing will still occur. Wouldn't that still be a concern?
My God
What about Palm devices?
