It seems most people like this device here. Personally, I'm with the fact that it's absolutely awful looking, the d-pad and the buttons are clearly too high on the device and it looks like it would be impossible to hold one button whilst pressing another (something that is essential in Donkey Kong Country and lots of other SNES games). I think "Lame" summed it up quite nicely. ]]>Jul 26th 2010 1:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/26/cp-designs-iphone-game-pad-prototype-does-donkey-kong-country-r/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/26/cp-designs-iphone-game-pad-prototype-does-donkey-kong-country-r/Jul 26th 2010 4:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/26/cp-designs-iphone-game-pad-prototype-does-donkey-kong-country-r/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/26/cp-designs-iphone-game-pad-prototype-does-donkey-kong-country-r/
Lose a few pounds, add 2 analog sticks, make it shiny and attractive and it will be a sure hit.

I hope Apple `reinvents` this because I am dying for a gamepad for the ipod touch / iphone.

Yeah, this is gunna fail if Apple/developers dont support it. I hope they do.

If they produce an iPhone 4 version for about $20 and it goes mainstream with some clever marketing giving devs units for free, I'm sure plenty of app developers would love to support it in their games as an added bonus. I can think of many many appstore games that would be awesome with this simple yet genius addon.]]>Jul 26th 2010 9:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/26/cp-designs-iphone-game-pad-prototype-does-donkey-kong-country-r/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/26/cp-designs-iphone-game-pad-prototype-does-donkey-kong-country-r/

"Interfacing with the Apple 30 pin connector and providing tactile buttons in the conventional game pad layout, the iPhone Game Pad allows a massive library of arcade and console games to be ported to the iPhone"

from the website. keeping in mind that its a prototype, from what appears to be a small group of guys. ie it may never really exist.

For anyone wondering, you can already get sweet button action on a jailbroken iPhone using a wiimote or a wiimote classic. The wiimote only has 2 buttons so it's perfect for NES and the wiimote classic has a full compliment of buttons for SNES/Genesis/PSX. They sync to the iPhone over bluetooth. ]]>Jul 26th 2010 9:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/26/cp-designs-iphone-game-pad-prototype-does-donkey-kong-country-r/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/26/cp-designs-iphone-game-pad-prototype-does-donkey-kong-country-r/

People don't down-rank based entirely on the fact the post has the word iPhone in it. People hate on the fact that everyone bring up the damn phone on every single topic that has ever been posted, regardless of weather on not the topic has anything to do with the phone.

Yea, don't make me laugh.

The Droid keyboard is utter crap, and even other Android phones with nice keyboards (like the upcoming Epic) still don't have good BUTTONS... They might be good keys for typing, but not a single phone out there has good buttons and a directional pad aimed at the gaming crowd.
