Apple iPhone 3G GamePad: Will you use the control pad?

By: Daniel Chubb | January 10, 2009 | 2 Comments

We have heard about many different options for an accessory that turns the iPhone 3G into a gamepad, this is something that is needed because the touchscreen is great but with many games we have played it lacks what the PSP has in the way of D-Pad and buttons.

The graphics on iPhone games are amazing and make it hard to believe your using what’s meant to be a phone. There will be a gaming control pad launched sometime in 2009 but would you want one for your iPhone?

You may remember the iControlpad hack a while back last year, this was heading in the right direction and they even said they will try and create an iControlPad for consumers that’s priced under $30 (you can see a photo below showing the latest prototype).

The iControlPad is not the only iphone game pad in the works, you can see an image here of what seems to be another gaming pad designed for the iPhone, although there are no details of yet.
