I tested this myself last night, and you are correct. There is a loss in frame rates.
The reason I suspect this is happeing is, the 3800 series is a 16bit screen. So we are losing speed but gaining more colors. I will have to investigate this a little more. If that is the case, maybe I can add a switch to disable 16bit mode.

Mega build is in the works.
I don't mind the new gamepad. It's a little odd becuase of the shape, but the fact that it works with all the buttons makes me a happy camper :)

Also, I will be moving the fire button off the action and back to Button 3 or 4. This will help game play.
For all you 3600 folks , never fear, I will continue to support the action fire button for your device, at least for now.
Did they change the buttons again on the 3700 series? I've seen a few programs that are released for the iPasq 3700 model specifically, but can't figure out why.

If they have, someone will need to provide some info to me so I can incorporate it.
