Don't get too hung up on the use of "d-pad" in many of the comments-- that's the term used by and large because it's the current interface. The essential request here is continuation of auxiliary hardware input, and that could certainly be a trackball (I like them too) or even the often-requested scrolling slider. Or any number of variations.
