With the iPhone looking to explore different avenues for success. They have recently released test versions of their soon to be gaming platform. To make gaming easier, they produced a plugin, the iControl, that allows a user to play a game using a D pad along with all the controls needed to have a fun time playing. For a live view, watch the video.
I'm pretty skeptical about this news and what it can achieve. I think it will take a lot of ingenuity, money and time to be able to catch up to where the DS and PSP are today. Those two companies, Sony and Nintendo, have an established fanbase with a stable product already in the field. With a newcomer coming in, Apple, they might have some competition, however, they have a long way to go and they need to secure some real hit games before they will even be able to touch the PSP or the DS.
