Serious mobile gaming

While we love the myriad apps and games in the App Store, there's one thing we definitely don't like about mobile gaming: our fingers going oddly numb or worse, cramping up. We'd love to play as long as our batteries will allow, but the form factor of the iPhone clashes with the limits our fragile human bodies. If we are going to get serious about claiming some worldwide high scores on our favorite games, we need a solution.

And behold, the gods provided us with the iCade Mobile, the ultimate handheld game controller for iPhone and iPod Touch.

You'll get a full view of all the action on screen because your hands and gripping the ergonomic controller pad. No more cramps! No more numb fingers! Game until the cows come home... or you run out of battery life.
