That's good news. In my opinion, that's what they need to do to improve the Pearl. The Pearl's trackball feels sloppy to me. A more clicky, definite trackball feel would improve the user experience with the Pearl.

Maybe it's something you get used to, but the several times I've played with a Pearl I've been really unimpressed with the trackball operation. I hope the 8800 has some different type of system.
