Manufacturers of accessories for iPhone / iPod Touch I certainly don't lack imagination when it comes to creating the perfect gaming accessory, especially since the gaming market for terminals Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), has grown enormously with the introduction of new ones iPhone 3GS/iPod Touch 3G with a graphic chip perfect for gaming. And how the international conference is taking place these days CES 2010, accessory manufacturers thought it would be the ideal time to present some of this year's "innovations" in the field of gaming on iPhone / iPod Touch.Last month I wrote an article about iHandStick, another accessory for gaming that simulates the gamepad of a console, a little difficult to use and somewhat impractical for the idea of playing on such a terminal.
Helix Gaming Grip it's completely different, only in terms of design, because in terms of functionality it's just as useless. From the pictures, it looks like a kind of lever on a space shuttle in which it comes mounted iPhone/iPod Touch your either in landscape or normal mode, the position depending on the game you want to play. The video below shows the accessory and its functionality in a racing game in landscape mode and to be honest, I think it was made only for games that can only be played using the accelerometer because I find it hard to believe that a the normal person would be too resistant to play a game using it The Gaming Grip, especially if they have to reach for the buttons on the screen.
I know that in the clip the presentation is done using a iPod Touch because officially this is the gaming device from Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), but in reality it can be used without problems on iPhone 3G / 3GS because in essence they are identical.
I don't know if an accessory will ever be invented that will be really useful to be able to play more "comfortably" on a mobile phone, to be honest I don't think there will ever be something like that because it is very difficult to achieve and for now no one was able to do it.
