Please add Xperia Play Optimization to the Android version

Oniros

The Sony Xperia Play is a one-of-a-kind phone that enables Android users to take advantage of its physical controls to enhance our mobile gaming experiences. If the Android version of BG:EE could take advantage of those features, it would be an insta-buy for a lot of Xperia users. Please consider adding dedicated support for our phone.

Wouldn't this be the same as them supporting console controllers, which is something they have already said they will not do (see

IMO BG would be harder to play using a gamepad/controller instead of the touch screen.

Not to mention the small screen size and (relatively by current standards) low resolution would probably make the game virtually unplayable.
