Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
OMG! That controller is naked! Quick, somebody cover it! I would like mine in blue please.
fail!
@Onelove:
Add "EPIC" prefix, please. :)
This might as well have been a MSI wind demo. (blurry video)
mr. blurrycam to the rescue
YAY FOR SHAKY CAM!
Why can't developers at least get someone ELSE to hold the camera, or buy a freaking tripod for goodness sakes!
Programmers and people like him DON"T HAVE someone to hold the camera for him. ;_;
Why does it seem that anyone with something worth filming can't operate a camera and/or understand basic concepts of what makes DECENT photography/cinematography.
LIGHTS. DEDICATED CAMERA OPERATOR (or even a TRIPOD!).
Then we go to YoutTube where 99% of the videos are complete garbage, but filmed decently enough that we watch it just because there was enough light to see what's going on and you don't feel dizzy afterward.
OK. That was totally useless. Since it's just a prototype, it doesn't count for much. Let's see the finished product playing some games.
because all decent products were products before they were prototypes
Turn on the lights and learn how to focus (and hold the camera still). Pathetic.
This video really showed nothing. For all we know, it's just a simple program that outputs a bunch of crap every time you press a certain key. I'm sure that's not the explanation (it may be legit), but anyone who actually wants to show that they're making something that works would hopefully be smart enough to post a better video than this. Fail.
Dude, you got a Dell!
I'm all about it! Sign me up!
Is that the cloverfield monster?
:) that's a mockup, not a prototype. a prototype is something you can send to engadget for evaluation.
No, a mockup is a non-functioning model that just shows what a product will look like. A prototype is a functioning, pre-production version of the product. This definitely falls into the prototype category.
What garbage!
Well to all the people that are complaining about the quality, why don't you donate to the guy if its that big of a deal.
I do wanna say one thing what was the point of this to show off terminal skills I wanna see the gamepad in action.
Despite his whiny voice, this guy's iPhone demo was more convincing than this CraigIX video... heh...

It seems to me that HARDWARE-wise, it would be trivial to attach an HID USB controller to a Touch/iPhone, since it obviously has a USB port on it. The tough part would be writing the driver.
i agree with stalkythefish, it has USB port on it. about usb
