    Mock up of an idea I had for a game controller for Apple's iPhone.

      Before, this controller idea would've failed. But now, the iPhone's brand new 3.0 OS allows apps downloaded from the app store to use add on peripherals like this controller.

      There is a race right now among hardware manufacturers to be the first to create an awesome gaming peripheral for the iphone thats a hit.

      So please please post this wonderful idea is iphone forums like macrumors and touch arcade. Thank you.

      Also...

      Whoever makes the iphone's first gaming addon, three requirements are must haves...

      1. The peripheral should look very sleek, flush with the phone and use the same black plastic found in the front of all iphones. iPhone owners care greatly about how thier device looks.

      2. The peripheral must have dual analog sticks/nubs. Imagine the PSP's analog nub, but on both sides. Portable gamers have been clamoring for this feature forever now, so it's about time they get it. I can't overstress how important it is the the iPhone's gaming pad has DUAL ANALOG NUBS.

      3. The peripheral must have two shoulder buttons and a solid D-Pad akin to the PSP/PS3's D-Pad to enable fighting games.

      Do these things and the peripheral will be a big hit.

      Also the smaller the add on, the better. It should be as small as humanly possible. People don't like large bulky addons. And it should have a rectangular design with curved edges identical to the iphone.

      I think overall, there should be an addon that expands and protects the iphone 1st generation. The iphone needs:
      1. Better speakers
      2. Better rumble
      3. MicoSD expandability
      4. MiniUSB slot for expansions such as
      a. GPS
      b. External Keyboard
      c. Ideas such as the picture
      d. and more of a whole list of extra addons
      5. gyroscopic sensor like Wiimotion plus

      I call it the iPhone Chubby

      The general idea is that people are using their phones for more and more things than their computers. You go ahead and cut to the chase. the iPhone is a computer. Go ahead and market with the accessories before it's too late.

      Add these as well:

      altimeter,
      thermometer,
      multimeter,
      and if you are really smart at packing stuff like apple, then might as well add a Opisometer, Spring scale, Barometer, Anemometer, Tire-pressure gauge, Theodolite etc etc... And why not make it water proof and add a depth meter to make it the first cellphone that can be taken with you while you scuba dive.
