Apple Working On iPad Gaming Attachment? - G4tv.com

 G4 has a great post about a potential accessory Apple has patented for extending its mobile devices' power to play games.

A patent application revealed by IntoMobile indicates that Apple is working to address one of the main problems in iPad and iPhone gaming: The controls. Having your avatar and your control scheme on the same surface is problematic for gaming -- your fingers totally get in the way-- so Apple is patenting a gaming attachment to seperate the two. The attachments envisioned basically transforms your iPad/iPhone into a gaming rig by adding a frame with a joystick and button combination. Apple is also looking into adding variations of the game-frame that include a camera, vibration, microphone, and an accelerometer.
