Remember this bad boy? Will wrote a post (and logged a video) from his time at CES, where Parrot were showing off their AR Drone, controlled by the iPhone. This multi-rotor ‘copter is the latest and greatest thing in awesomeness, and despite being a bit on the dear side, is … well … awesome. If you don’t believe me, check out the post from Will here.
Anyway, I digress. Maximobileshop.com have released an accessory for the accessory, which is basically a joypad-like controller that the iPhone sits inside – making the accelerometer-based control from the iPhone much easier to control, I’d imagine:
The iHandstick, as it’s called, looks to be loosely modelled on some of the fave game console controllers of yesterday, but with important difference that you can mount an iPhone, or iPod Touch, inside it. And not just a particular generation of iPhone either – there are various mounts to ensure compatibility.
Personally, I think if you’ve spent the Moolah on the Drone, you would HAVE to get this, to make the control system lovely and balanced to use. But that’s just my opinion 
You can get the iHandstick, plus a whole ton of other cool accessories, from Maximobileshop.com.

Ben is a 10+ year veteran of the Mobile industry – starting his career when SMS was a still a relatively new concept for most people (!), he has now consulted on everything from bleeding-edge Mobile content, to the next-gen accessories you might view it on. As a result he has a broad and deep knowledge in numerous areas of Mobile – from network operators to device vendors, to infrastructure and middleware vendors (not to mention content delivery) – and has worked for companies in all of these areas! He is based in the UK, a hotbed of activity for mobile, and recently became a father for the second time – as oppose to in his younger years when he was happy spend time tweaking all manner of mobile devices to 'nth' degree, he now looks for services and hardware that provide the most efficient, compact, and reliable improvements to his already manic life! It’s his opinion that Mobile solutions should be there to help to make your life better – if a particular solution (be it service or device) isn’t doing this, he believes you need to ask the very important question of why you continue to use it... His focus at IntoMobile is mainly on Mobile content, services, and infrastructure, particularly as regards the UK market – and with the occasional look at devices. Additionally, using his extensive experience in the industry, he will provide commentary on the industry at large, with regular (and hopefully thought-provoking) articles.
