iOS controller

IOS has become the biggest selling platformer of all time even betting the PS2 which is the most successful gaming console of all time. The playstation is the most influential gaming console out there with it's analog stick and triggers and that shaped the gaming controller on today. Speaking about controllers android 4.0 ICS supports external game controllers, if you find a miniUSB to a MicroUSB and use your PS3 controller to play your favourite gameloft characters and it works with your emulators so play mario in the original super mario bros on the NES emulator.

iOS has become the best known platform for games, and its the basis of all mobile applications. If you want your app to get known and get credit, post it to the app store and watch your money build up. IOS has got a massive list of third party controllers, some of them use bluetooth as there way to get access to the iOS controls and then you've got some that connects via the 30 pin connector and now you've got a iOS game controller that connects through the 3.5mm headphone jack so you know what that means no need to charge the controller up, no need for bluetooth just plain old plug and play.

This gets me on my next subject. You'd think that apple would produce some sort of simple gaming controller than developers can easily program for those games that use the terrible virtual joystick. I'm not sure how i feel about this, apple could create their own slide out keyboard addon for the iPhone 4/4S and soon to be released iPhone 5 and make the iPhone it's still thinniest profile it cant be but including the best physical joypad phones have ever seen.

What do you think do you think apple should make their own controller for the iPhone, iPod's and iPad's? Could this be the next big thing coming from apple or will we just see an iPad mini and a iPhone 5?

Thanks for reading.
