PocketGamer tells about the Zeemote JS1 Bluetooth gaming controller:
while this is in no way official, it seems some clever clogs has now got the compact thumb stick and buttons working with the iPhone.
What with iPhone 3.0’s API’s for Bluetooth accessory access, Jeremy thinks we might see more devices like this — if Apple’s smart. What do you think? Do you want/need an BT thumbstick to really get your iPhone game on, or is multi-touch enough?
