We know some of you consider even hauling around a cell phone a big pain, but this ain’t for you. The BGP100 game pad would be an ideal match for any thumb-sore gamer who likes kickin’ ass or racin’ a drag on the small screen.  Fret not that this isn’t going to support your cell phone, as the BGP100 can mate with any Bluetooth-enabled handset out there running the likes of Symbian Series 60, Symbian UIQ, PocketPC, Windows Mobile, which needless to say covers a huge number of cell phones.

The BGP100 game pad runs on a single AAA battery, enough for up to 3.5 hours of fun and has a dual-color LED Bluetooth indicator for connection status and power status. It’s unique twister design can accomodate any cell phone that isn’t more than 55mm wide and it can also double as a standalone game pad when folded.  Make it yours at just AU $128.45 (approx. $90) from SmarterLife.

It appears Belkin is working on a JoyPad controller which would be available through the App Store when it’s ready. There’s no price or availability and I am not sure if this project will see the light of day.

There are no details on how such a JoyPad will work. It looks similar to the iControlPad we’ve seen in the past. Does the iPhone or iPod touch fit inside? What about the controls on the right? Is the screen going to shrink to allow virtual buttons on the right? Who would want that? After all whenever we’re playing games we want to take full advantage of a bigger screen.
We’ll have to wait and see if this information checks out or not.

Ever wished you have a game controller for your laptop while on the road? If you have a Evergreen Navigator 365, then you’re right on track.

Bad news is that the Evergreen Navigator 365 is meant for the Japanese market only, for JPY2999 or approximately US$28.
