iControlPad Bluetooth controller for iOS and Android on sale now

The anticipated iOS and Android iControlPad Bluetooth controller is finally available from retailer ThinkGeek, providing you're willing to spend $75 for physical buttons.

The peripheral should work with all iOS games that currently feature support for Ion Audio's Pocket Gamer Bronze Award-winning iCade controller, as well as a ton of Android titles using Bluez IME.

As you can see for yourself in the picture below, the iControlPad features two analogue nubs, a traditional D-pad, and six face buttons. It also has two back buttons and an integrated flash chip that allows its firmware to be updated throughout its life.

It comes with a rechargeable battery so that you don't have to mess about when you run out of gaming fuel.

We gave the iControlPad a respectable Bronze Award when we reviewed it back in April, and commented that it "boasts a sublime physical interface that will delight fans of retro and 'traditional' gaming".
