Hibby's Idea! !!!!!!!!!!!!

I GOT AN IDEA! As you may know the Pro's D-Pad is one big clickable plate relying on capacitive touch to tell it where you are pressing. There are 3 areas:

[ ]o[ ]

The 2 rectangular ones are virtually divided to make 2 virtual buttons (home/talk and back/end).

[-]o[-]

BUT! What is preventing an app from doing this:

[=]o[=]

Why can't we create a 3rd virtual button? The whole plate is depressing so in theory we could add a "button" on each side by adding another split in each capacitive area.

Thoughts? Developers? Speak to me...
