GameBone is a new gamepad intended for game lovers on Apple terminals. GameBone will turn your iDevice into a real gaming terminal through the specially made case with buttons similar to those found in a regular gamepad. This gamepad will be available for all iDevices, it will have an included battery, stereo speakers, microphone and a small stand.

Here are the functions GameBone will have:

  • 8-way D-pad (directional pad);
  • 4 action buttons;
  • 2 shoulder buttons;
  • Built-in 1600 mAh Lithium battery for additional power for your iPod touch / iPhone;
  • Rear button and LED to check charging state and capacity;
  • Built-in stereo speakers;
  • Omnidirectional MIC;
  • 3.5 audio headphone jack;
  • Rear kick-stand;
  • iDevice independent volume control;
  • Charge and sync for all iDevices (except for the iPad);
  • Interchangeable core for compatibility with iPod Touch, iPhone and iPad devices;

Company the manufacturer will announce in October a date for the launch of the product, and I find one extremely interesting, especially since it has an included battery and attached stereo speakers. The price of the device will probably be quite high, but first let's see it ready for mass production.
