    The Chinese parts suppliers don't have much to sell us for PB's, so, they came out with a 'joystick'

    BB Playbook -Bezel - cases- joysticks

    Wow. Knowing the Chinese this probably doesn't even work. Are you sure it isn't a "joystick for play" Possibly they have a bad translator app? Would be interesting to know if external control devices, mice, game controllers etc are supported, though but then who needs a touchscreen? This makes little sense.

    you stick it on the screen and, in the case of emulators where a virtual d pad is provided, the joystick goes over the virtual dpad, and "touches" the directional buttons for you

    That's insane. What do you do, glue it to the touchscreen? What's a d pad?

    It reminds me of one that would sit on the screen for a game that is run with the touch screen to simulate a joystick. Just like a stylist, except with more touch points. IF that is what it is I guess cool...but I would also think it would just get in the way...BUT from the cnn.cn site you were on the leather folding case/stand looks kind of nice...I might just have to order one of those.
