Well, looky, looky what we have here, in the above video. Yes, its exactly what it looks like, a really cool gaming case for the iPhone that gives it some extra retro gaming powers by adding some physical buttons and controls.
Its called the iPhone Game Pad and you can get the scoop here.
This clever case can allow a massive library of arcade and consoled games to be ported to the iPhone while not losing any of that old school interface that people have grown accustomed while growing up in the 80's and the 90's.
At this stage of the game, sadly, its still just a prototype and only designed to work on the iPhone 3G and 3GS, but, hopefully, if this thing ever takes off commercially and makes it to market, and I sure hope it does, then I'm also equally sure it will also be made compatible with the new iPhone 4 and the iPhone as well.
Depending on the price, providing its not too much, then I'm sure this cool little case will be making a big splash with all of those 17 and under kids that comprise over 70% of the iPod Touch market. I see kids now-a-days using and playing iPod Touch games just about everywhere I go these days and I'm sure that most of them would love to get their hands on one of these cool little gaming cases.
In conclusion, I think the iPhone Game Pad is one nifty idea that I hope will be perfected and selling like the proverbial hot cakes soon, so I give a special thanks to CultofMac and Obamba Pacman for bringing this to my attention.
And that's my 2 cents 4 this Wednesday, July 28, 2010

They actually don't have it for 3g / 3gs yet. The only version they have is for the original iPhone.
Welcome back.
Thanks Obama, yes it's true, its only available for the original iPhone, but I'm sure it will be modified if it ever comes to market. I hope so anyway.
