I'm surprised that Apple hasn't released a standard for iPhone game conrols yet. I can understand they may want to think of the iPhone as a complete gaming system, but it's not. I like pinball games. Even though you only need two controls, a button on each side of the display, the iPhone's pinball experience is lacking. Having to cover part of the screen to activate the flippers detracts from the experience. It's still fun, but could be a lot better. You’re right on target with this.

Both, at least for me stand for the same one thing... innovation... And both companies never cared what the outside world wanted when they thought their idea was superior...

I'm pretty sure any system these days uses digital controls. Hell, I can't remember the last time I saw an analog volume control on a stereo. Does anything use analog controls?
