Size: Slightly wider (maybe 5mm or so) would be acceptable, and a slightly thinner lid would be appreciated. So the X dimension can increase a bit, but Y and Z should stay the same or get thinner.Size: Similar. If we have to increase it, it will not be much (maybe 1 - 2 mm to one side)
Clamshell design: Of course!
Full sized SD Card slots: I would like to keep these as well.
USB Ports: Sure thing!
Gaming Controls: Ummm...
Replaceable battery: Yep. I want to keep the exact same battery for various reasons.:
Nubs: Completely new ones. We already have some samples that are working so much better (best nubs I've ever seen).
LCD-Cable: While the current ones are good, they still fail too often in my opinion. With MIPI displays, we don't need LCD Cables anymore.
Case: The case will be completely designed and produced by one company in Europe. This will ensure a higher quality.
LCD: Better refresh rate, higher resolution (ideally 720p, but that's hard to get), size increased to 5"
Keyboard: Slightly improved layout, better feel, probably backlight
Wireless: Improved Wifi, but maybe also optional 3G/4G would be neat.
Speakers: We already have samples of much better speakers.
SoC: A more recent one, of course. And yes... we have the confirmation for one now, but I won't tell you
So, that's my basic idea - what do you think about that?![]()
Why not have L2 and R2 as recessed buttons on the bottom of the case (near the back, but closer to the middle than L1 and R1) like on the iCP?4 shoulder buttons? hmm.. if the shoulders get some work so the case is more comfortable for those buttons maybe .. but I worry that' dbe too fiddly; you want the case as thin as possible (its just a tiny bit too thick now, imho), so is 4 buttons possible, comfortably? ie: Xbox controller and such have enormous heights, plenty of room to work with.. but in a mobile? anyone else done it before?

But they would need to cover quite a big area because though practically everyone has their middle fingers down there they don't put them in exactly the same place.Why not have L2 and R2 as recessed buttons on the bottom of the case (near the back, but closer to the middle than L1 and R1) like on the iCP?4 shoulder buttons? hmm.. if the shoulders get some work so the case is more comfortable for those buttons maybe .. but I worry that' dbe too fiddly; you want the case as thin as possible (its just a tiny bit too thick now, imho), so is 4 buttons possible, comfortably? ie: Xbox controller and such have enormous heights, plenty of room to work with.. but in a mobile? anyone else done it before?

Think about it, if you are holding the device with your index fingers on L1 and L2, where do your middle fingers naturally fall?

I can already see tons of mechanical issues with users trying to press their buttons and they collapse.I had a crazy idea for L2R2. Flip outs.
When you're not using them they'll be part of the bottom, perfecly flat.
When you need them, you flip them out so the buttons face the back.
A wedge shape like the 2ds?No one ever said the bottom of the Pyra had to be flat... What if we had a part that angled out near the back of the bottom, say, at the angle of a trigger, for the L2 and R2 buttons. Not actually have triggers, but just a button that is sticking out of a part of the bottom angled like a trigger. Like the Z button on the N64.
