Summary : Toucharcade just got a hands on play with new iCade Mobile controler for iPhone in the CES 2012. Check it out, pretty cool!
The iCade Mobile will be priced at $79.99 when it launches. It's got eight buttons, and a d-pad. Like the original iCade, it connects over Bluetooth.
What's nice about the design is it supports both landscape and portrait modes. The iPhone or iPod Touch sits in a specially designed cradle that can rotate freely.
Of course, one side effect to this design is that it makes the whole device pretty big. You'll be able to see in the hands on video that it adds a considerable amount of bulkage to your iOS device:
Unsurprisingly, control-wise it felt the same as the iCade. Some people seem to complain of a very slight lag in controls, but as you can see in the video, it's pretty minimal. To my hands the controls felt nicely spaced out, though I didn't really get a chance to test out the shoulder buttons in action. As with any of these accessories, it's hard to imagine lugging one around with you everywhere you go, but the added convenience (over the original iCade) of being able to lean back in your couch is nice.
And here's an official video from Ion Audio showing people having a hilarious time with it:
The device is coming this spring at $79.99. Will you gonna hve one?
