iPad Mobile Gaming gets better the Fling Suction-Cup Joystick
|I thought this was pretty cool and wanted to share it with everyone. If you are into Gaming your iPad and want better control then have a look at the Fling Suction-Cup Joystick by Ten One Design. Made from clear plastic the Fling Suction-Cup Joystick is said to “Melt” away and become invisible but I think even as cool as this appears to be that there will be some screen real estate sacrificed in the process. Check out the pictures below for a comparison:
Still, I think this is pretty cool and not too bad on the gadget budget with a price tag of $24.99. You are going to have to preorder this as well cause’ Ten One Design won’t have em’ ready to ship until January 28th, 2011. So you should be gaming Suction-Cup Style in February if all goes well. It also appears that Fling might come with a few Color options with an Ice (Clear), Ninja (Black), and Ultraviolet (Purple) color to choose from. Head on over to their website for more information and to preorder your Fling today.
Here is the press release from Ten One Design:
