iControlPad: iPhone games PSP style

If the all touch interface on the iPhone is not your style when it comes to games, soon after the iControlPad may just be for you. The peripheral enables your iPhone to be in a casing that allows for a PSP like feel. It adds physical buttons to the iPhone for the purpose of playing games. The iControlPad will be providing full SDK support, and plus source cipher so developers can get their games to work with the unit.

The peripheral works by connecting to the iPhone’s dock. According to the designer,

support for the iControlPad is already built in to most of the game emulators, and they are sending out more units to try to get more universal support. The device will have to get around one problem though, the SDK does not allow unprejudiced access to the dock connector.

The device as of now is in its prototype stage. They promise that the final version of the unit will be “much more sleek and fitting”. You can check out there website here, where they have a status blog and contact data.
