Here’s something for true iPhone and (mobile) gaming addicts. Thanks to the accessory called iControlpad, iPhone users will be able to enjoy the real console-like experience while playing games on their shiny handset. The device is still not available to the general public, but with first prototype being ready, we guess it’s not that far from reaching the mass market.
According to folks behind the project, “the iPhone is locked perfectly in place when in the control pad.” Best of all, this won’t be an iPhone thing only – this gamepad accessory will be made for iPod Touch users as well.
Don’t want to get them all the glory – check out the official iControlPad website for more information.

The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do.
In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application.
