The Icontrolpad (if it’s legit) will certainly be one hell of a hit, assuming video games are then made where’s it useful, all that Nintendo and Sega rom crap aside

There is a petition at http://www.iphonefeatures.org to get Apple to include basic features such as ‘copy and paste’ and more bluetooth profiles in the next iPhone software release. Please sign it!

I agree with Rhett cheaper games would be nice. I also have one and unless they come out with god of war and games like that it could never beat the PSP.

Hey, how about Apple let us have a bluetooth stack to make a wireless game controller for the iPhone. I have a PSP at it’s pretty bad a** so I’m not sure if the iPhone could beat that, but cheaper games would be nice.

If I’m not mistaken, I’ve already seen pictures somewhere online where some enterprising developer has already developed a physical multi-button controller unit designed specifically for the iPhone where the iPhone slips inside it – adding physical buttons on each end of the iPhone unit. Once the iPhone has been placed inside, you can play iPhone games using the controller buttons exactly the same way you would on a PSP. If the lack of physical buttons is your only complaint, then that has already been achieved and solved. Therefore, unless you can come up some other reason, then I feel it is only just a matter of time until the iPhone completely rules the mobile games market, and the PSP becomes history.

Couldn’t some clever people develop a controller of some sort that snaps onto the bottom of an iPhone (like the old Griffin iTunes thing that let you play radio out of your iPod) through the dock connector and give real, hard buttons? It wouldn’t take much to get things really working well.

if they can get some really good games on the iphone THEN it would possibly
