The folks over at iControlPad have unveiled the newest edition of their control pad for the iPhone and iPod Touch which gives buttons to the device allow it to become the ultimate gaming machine. The newest edition includes an internal battery to stop the controlpad from draining the devices battery.
Sadly there is no release date of any kind and I get the feeling that it is still not near completion as the team said:
We were not 100% happy with this. If we are going to do this we want to do it right.
Here is all the details that they released on their website:
Hello everyone,
So, what happened? We vanish for months with no word. Well let me tell you a story…
Back in Febuary we had a test run of Ipads made in the design we went with at the time – we shipped them out to some selected people and asked for feedback over a couple of months.
What we got back was interesting, the design worked but obviously needed to be altered for each type of iPhone and the controls were a bit cramped, plus it was quite large to carry.
We were not 100% happy with this. If we are going to do this we want to do it right.
As some of you know we have access to the parts used on the openPandora handheld – which has dual analogue nubs.
A sleepless night then resulted a huge design change.
