[QUOTE="Matt McIrvin, post: 12590, member: 590"] Checking a touchscreen in Android is not that hard. The driver and operating system do most of the work for you. Of course I don't know how low- or high-level TPA's screen-reading is, but what it's doing is not that complicated as gestural interfaces go. I'd guess that a large part of the difference is just that, for the player, tapping a touchscreen with your thumbs is mechanically very different from using pinball cabinet buttons, whereas using controller buttons is not quite as different.
