First iPhone Gamepad ‘GameBone Pro’ by 22Moo
Tuesday, June 23, 2009
After the release of iPhone OS 3.0 which added support for Bluetooth accessories, it was only a matter of time before the first iPhone gamepad would be unveiled.
GameBone Pro by 22Moo is a Bluetooth gamepad shaped like a dog bone, with an 8 way directional pad and 6 buttons. The device is slated for release in mid September 2009. 22Moo hasn’t settled on a price yet, but is taking suggestions for pricing.
Hopefully developers add gamepad accessory support into their games, otherwise products like GameBone Pro could be dead in the water. It’ll be interesting to see how this all plays out.
