iControlPad is an iPhone accessory that adds physical buttons and
joypad. It slides onto the iPhone like a case (providing some
protection) and offers a PSP-style form factor. The hardware
interfaces via the Dock connector and is already supported by some of
the emulators that run on jailbroken iPhones. They're also planning
full SDK support once iPhone 2.0 ships, presumably next month.

That would also be a Nokia N800 form factor, I believe... Did you want to
remind us all again what a "brick" that is?

Neat. So, after you add all the interfaces and functionality a device
like this really needs, you need a friggin backpack to carry it all!

No, then you get an Nokia N800 or N810 and dump it on some klutz....(c;

Damn they're fun paired with the Wii Remote!
