ION iCade is a gamepad for iDevices that was presented in January at CES 2012, but which is only now hitting the market. The gamepad allows iDevice owners to use physical buttons to control the games available in the App Store and besides the interesting design it offers a customized functionality. iCade has a d-pad, four buttons available on the right side of the device plus four more buttons hidden behind it, and with its help you can very easily control any of the compatible games.
Gamers of all ages will love iCade Mobile's classic controller configuration, which is designed to allow them to play modern and retro games the way they were meant to be played. iCade Mobile's four-way directional pad, four front-facing action buttons and four shoulder buttons are designed to withstand even the most fierce button mashing. iCade Mobile gets your fingers out of the way and gives you a full view of the action with a specially designed cradle that ensures safe loading and unloading of your iPhone or iPod touch while also providing a solid, secure fit even during the most intense game- play sessions.
Although the ION iCade is interesting as an accessory, unfortunately it cannot work with any kind of games available in the App Store. Even so, its producers say that there are over 100 titles that use it, so you shouldn't get bored too easily. The ION iCade is finally available for $70 again on this website you can place an order.
