GameBone Pro GamePad for your iPhone/iPod Touch
Posted by Jeff Campbell in "Apple iPhone & iPod Touch" @ 08:00 AM
"Many iPhone gamers had requested for additional controls such as a D-Pad or external joystick and 22Moo has responded by developing the GameBone Pro. 22Moo also has announced the immediate availability of the Argo MPA and Argo DVD/TV LTD "Made for iPod" iPhone 3.0 compatible video eyewear and S100 mono / stereo convertible Bluetooth headset."
Thus begins the press release announcing this new product from 22moo. This is an Australian company that sells a variety of products. Products such as "video eyewear" to give you that theater feeling while you are watching videos from your portable device to multi-purpose bag handles. They also develop iPhone/iPod Touch applications, with 9 applications currently in the iTunes Store. While I like some of their products, I'm not so sold on this one. I really don't see the need. If I am going to be playing a game on my iPhone I'll just play it, why do I need to carry around another accessory? But I don't do a lot of gaming on my iPhone, other than ones that don't require a game pad like this. How about you? Anyone think this might be something they would use?
