Ok so, gaming on the iphone/touch is coming, it ‘s inevitable, and it ‘s going to be OH SO sweet! You ‘ve seen all the jailbroken emulators with their tiny touchscreen control pads and claims that ‘It ‘s like the real thing! ‘ Yea, well, forget all that iControlPad launching in tee-minus 3, 2 soon! http://www.icontrolpad.com/
The iControlPad is an accessory that slides onto the iPhone and adds hardware buttons and a joypad, in a PSP sort of form factor.
Currently in the prototype phase developer CraigX, a mastermind behind the Pandora project (http://www.engadget.com/tag/pandora) claims:
We have our first prototype put together and the design works very well, we don’t have the Start and Select buttons on this version but don’t worry they will be in the final set up. The current system is slightly smaller than the PSP and feels very nice to hold and use.
The iPhone is locked perfectly in place when in the control pad.
And yes, we plan to make an iTouch version too!
Engadget reports: 
The pad’s site claims that compatibility is already built in to popular iPhone game emulators, and units are being sent out to other developers as well.
PSP ‘s reign to be taken over in the coming months? Keep a close eye on this team, ‘igaming ‘ could very well take the handheld gaming community for a whole new spin!
