Bender:
looks like the icade uses 2 keystrokes for each button which make a keyboard hack unrealistic :angry:

This is an interesting discussion topic. The way I see it, computers, meaning desktops/laptops are a dying breed and all these phone/tablet OS's are very quickly taking over. Phones/tablets have become so fast and powerful that many people that do not need a powerfull workstation can do everything they need on their phone/tablet.
So it is natural for mame to migrate over to Android and hopefully get lots of support and updates as this is the future for all computing in general and of course our favorite application of all, mame.
iOS vs Android is just Mac vs PC, Beta Vs VHS all over again and we ALL know what will win out, always does every time. Apple is a great company that makes superior but way more expensive products and Android looks like the way to go from here. When tablets start getting bigger and cheaper, mame will be a BLAST to run on a touch screen!

I'm looking forward to the day when my desktop machine is a keyboard and screen with a slot in the side to take my phone. I can then just pop my phone (computer) out when I'm done, and carry it to the next place. my phone has more than enough computing power for day to day tasks, it's just the interfaces aren't up to it yet.

I'm looking forward to a desktop with just one cable.

This is very similar behind my desk



Actually I have four crates of the stuff too.  All needed.
