Watch out Nokia N-Gage & PSP! Here comes the gaming add-on pad for the most famous mobile phone in the world (a.k.a. iPhone): iControlPad. The mastermind behind this project, CraigX has thought of the reason why he make it: "Emulators and games just not really working well enough with the touch screen? We didn't think so either - so we built this little add on. Yeah. Realise the full potential of the iPhone by adding real controls."It's pretty straight forward, your iPhone just slides in and locks in to place via the serial port; there are no modifications needed and you can remove it at any time. So far CraigX and his team haven't put on the Start and Select buttons on this version but don't worry they will be in the final set up. The current system is slightly smaller than the PSP and feels very nice to hold and use.
They've been quite strict and confidential on how iControlPad will work, how it'll cost or when the actual product is going to be released. But according to their official statement at their website, the iPhone is locked perfectly in place when in the control pad. And they plan to release full source code and SDK support as well, that means iPod Touch is going to enjoy the same privilege with this iControlPad too.
