    In 2009, Apple experimented with an iPod built for mobile gaming with a second Click Wheel used for control inputs. It was canned after an engineer showed Jobs and he struggled to complete a game of Tetris due to Click Wheel drift.

          @michi The engineer said "we added another button" and Jobs just unhinged his jaw and devoured the guy whole.

              @michi a bad workman blames his tools. Jobs should have practiced with the similarly discontinued Gameboy D, with double D-pads, but snobbism towards Nintendo withheld him.

                  @jnazario @KormaChameleon DJ Hero came out that year, so this could have been the perfect mobile device to play it on.
