TouchArcade has found evidence of two upcoming iPhone control pads that add, at the very least, an SNES amount of buttons to the iPhone. iControl pad is the first, and has four face buttons, a D pad, Start/Select and an LED to show when it's in use. It may be ugly now, but it's just a prototype.

Another game pad design (below) was received anonymously and looks like a patent application. It has an analog stick instead of a D pad, and places the Start/Select buttons over on the left. Both seem incredibly useful for games that require precise control—something the tilt sensor is not good for.


Good news for John Carmack, and, you know, evil ROM pirates.

Seriously, if this thing is as powerful as some people say it is... I probably still won't buy one. I own a PSP, it comes with buttons. But for the sake of closeted gamers everywhere, even if it's not an official-supported chunk of Apple hardware, I hope someone makes this device. I mean, a sexy one, that black mock-up looks like it was carved out of packing foam and dipped in exterior latex.
