Wow - £50 - on top of the £300-500 smartphone price.....to play some £2 games?
Re: News - Gametel Bluetooth gaming pad for iOS and Android
Big improvement over onscreen controls in many cases though. And why does game price come into it? Surely the alternative is spending e.g. £30 on PSP or similar games, which just makes it look like a bargain.

Couldn't you just use a usb joypad with a android tablet? After all USB keyboards and mice seem to work fine. Would be a lot cheaper too - All you'd need then is a decent clamp!
Re: News - Gametel Bluetooth gaming pad for iOS and Android
This is supposed to be quite a sturdy little peripheral. I have an Xperia PLAY and I think the joypad makes gaming better. However, I agree, £50 is quite expensive.

Dont forget you can play a vast number of online games on an android device. Meaning you could use this game pad to play reasonable games on your handheld.
But yes £50 is too much for most of us to think of

Considering a ps3 controller as just an example is way under that, and this looks like it might be cheap quality wise, I'm going to have to disagree...

So it's basically a knock-off of the iControlPad but more expensive, the nastiest-looking D-pad in the world, and without dual analog sticks.
Re: News - Gametel Bluetooth gaming pad for iOS and Android
For an item that uses Bluetooth, I'm not surprised at the price, though I don't actually think it's worth buying... Like someone said, a majority of the games are £1-5, and you don't really look for a full on gaming experience with portable items like the iPhone and iPad; at most, people play games on the bus for a few minutes or something.
