They will an Apple iPod Touch version as well as full source code and SDK support!

On May 17th the first prototype was produced of the iControlPad. Things are progressing fast, so definitely keep an eye out at their official homepage.

Good Luck!

EDIT:1st Post

That is such a good accessory! definitely something id buy in a sec no matter how much it costs..

Holy Hell

Omg.

Oh sweet baby jesus...
Will it be able to control other things?

Nice!!!!

Holy shit. Dude this is so sweet. Just one Question Is this like official. I mean like is it only for jailbroken ipods. Cuz then they wont sell it in stores.

I just posted about this on another thread but will make it short and sweet. I got a PSP because my touch has no physical buttons. End of story unless this thing is a good price.

I buy it. I just hope dev will support it....

That is sooo awesome. I can't wait for the release. :p

nice...........

Devs should find this controller easy to develop for. It's led by a team of people known for their work in homebrew gaming hardware. It will have a freely available, simple API available to all developers. It will support any application that chooses to use the API.

Holy Fazolis! Another thing I'm likely not going to be able to buy... Awesome though! Fantastic job.

I heard a guy working on this on IRC, didn't know he'd pull it through. :)

its been 3 hours but.. i want it now!! (again) (i posted on other thread)

This looks great.:) I was wondering when somebody would finally decide to make one of these things. It looks like they finally did.:)

Meh... I'll believe it when I see it. As for getting it... : shrugs: I already carry enough crap around as it is.

My question is, what games will there be for this thing.

It's being worked on by the same team developing the Pandora gaming hardware ( http://www.openpandora.org ) featured on sites such as Engadget. It's already been developed, the software is made. It needs to still go into mass production though.

So there's no worries of if it will come. It's coming!

As for games, all my emulators (gpSPhone, snes4iphone, psx4iphone, genesis4iphone, gameboy4iphone, etc...) will support it. So in total, you'll have the support of over 10,000+ games.

:)

A very brilliant idea, in concept.

Realistically though, where will they get the money to manufacture these things?
That's not to say that some people will want them, but...

OMG!!!! Cant wait

I think people are missing the point here...It's already made and it is being mass produced by the same team working on the Pandora next gen gaming handheld I have in my hands as we speak. They have the capability to get this out and quickly. :)

wait, what did you say about a next gen gaming handheld......?
anyway, this will make the emulators more worth while, I just couldn't get the hang of touch screen controls......:(
