This is an Australian company that sells a variety of products. Products such as "<a href="http://www.22moo.com.au/videoeyewear.html" target="_blank">video eyewear</a>" to give you that theater feeling while you are watching videos from your portable device to multi-purpose bag handles. They also develop iPhone/iPod Touch <a href="http://www.22moo.com.au/iapps.html" target="_blank">applications</a>, with 9 applications currently in the iTunes Store. While I like some of their products, I'm not so sold on this one. I really don't see the need. If I am going to be playing a game on my iPhone I'll just play it, why do I need to carry around another accessory? But I don't do a lot of gaming on my iPhone, other than ones that don't require a game pad like this. How about you? Anyone think this might be something they would use?&nbsp;</p>

It has potential. For games like Need for Speed or one of those, I think it would be pretty cool. As for carrying around another accessory, it's going in my bag anyway, so I wouldn't mind it too much. I just wish it kinda docked with the iPhone a bit. As it is, you have to hook it up and prop the phone up somewhere to use it. Not ideal.

I'm glad someone's doing it, though. I'd definitely grab one to try out. I'm not 100% sold on it either, but I like where they're going with it.
