In a perfect iPhone gamer world, the iPhone would have the tactical feedback of a physical keyboard, equipped with buttons and ready to play the latest games and emulators. Thanks to iControlPad it looks like iPhone gamers have found a solution that brings PSP-style gaming to Apple’s iPhone. The solution is very clever and only requires that you slide in your iPhone to the outer casing shell which connects to the iPhone’s serial port to deliver the perfect gaming environment. What really makes this device worthwhile is that review units have already been sent out to the developers of all the leading iPhone emulators, so your chances of playing DOOM and Super Mario Bros. without using a touchscreen may soon be over. A full scale launch and public availability of the iControlPad are in the works, but for the meantime it will remain a prototype while developers ensure compatibility across their emulators in order to deliver the best possible iPhone gaming experience. Now all we need is the 3g iPhone and a iControlPad and we are set, but who are we kidding, the Blackberry Bold and HTC Diamond are just too tempting to resist.

Remember that cell phone hitting Verizon Wireless with the built-in Bluetooth headset? Well Verizon has decided to move forward and the Verizon VX8610 has now become the Verizon Decoy.

While 3g support is not a necessity as we have seen from the [...]
