Oh No Whate Have We Done, Tweet From Craig

Well this way it keeps the Pan-Zealots happy

The old design was cramped and had no analogues. It just didn't work well. Gamers would have hated it.

This design clips off, those separate side parts mean it can fit any phone (even future versions), the actual size of the controller is less than the iphone, the controls are large, you have the two analogues and... it has a battery in it which doubles the iPhone battery life.

What's the prize and how many are getting produced for the first batch?
What's the compatibility like?

No it doesn't. Now the iPhone is basically a Pandora! They've totally sold us out! Blargleblargleblargle!!1!eleventy-one!2

The first run is 3000 since we have no idea what the demand will be.

You will need to install jailbreak to use it - iphone developers with access to the serial port will be able to use it - but apple might not approve apps.

So it's more than just games control then, additional battery life........
Does it have tv out and 2 SD slots also, don't be drip feeding the info Craigix
There may end being a real person being thrown on the bonfire this weekend. :lol:

So... shouldn't this be moved to another forum? Other consoles perhaps?

 

[Tokiopop]

Does it have shoulder buttons?

with OS 3.0 we can now use Bluetooth devices, maybe you could add a bluetooth HID interface chip and not need the jailbreak.

I'd love to support it in our future games by pivotalblur.com

using bluetooth would be a much better idea imo. I mean I dunno if it's too late into production to change that, but it would allow it to be used on non-i devices thus expanding your market somewhat as well (what with this latest slew of powerful android devices & all I'd imagine SOMEONE would want a piece of that). IF I end up fixing my iphone instead of getting an i-killer I'd gladly take one. Will you be taking pre-orders, or did you learn your lesson last time? ;]

Shame on you, cheating on pandora.

Dude! We could use that on our Pandoras!

I PUT A PANDORA IN YOUR PANDORA SO YOU CAN PANDORA WHILE YOU PANDORA

Someone has to look out for the quad-thumbed mutant niche.

Do you have a rough idea on price yet Craig?

And are you planning to stick an order page up on gbax soon?

Double Post

That's actually kinda cute, it'd be a nice design for something.
