I'd rather use the d-pad and volume buttons for movement and start/select respectively and have two big red buttons on the right side of the screen for the A/B buttons.
That way there's more screen real estate to be had and we have our right-side buttons.

Could this thing be useful for one of the myriads of emulators on the N800? It seems like such a shame to be wasted on the iPhone (<spit!>) abomination.
I know, our beloved N800 already has hardware buttons, but I keep hearing how the D-pad really sucks for gaming, so maybe this could work.
One caveat though: In the instructable it says to go ahead and cut it out directly on the screen of the iPhone (<spit!>). Don't do that on a N800! It has a much more sophisticated screen than that Apple gadget and will therefore not withstand a knife.
