Starting out as a joke for owners of iOS devices, the iCade accessory for iOS devices has quickly become a popular add on for the product line.
Now, the company that makes the accessory (Ion Audio) has expanded its offerings at CES by including the below products:
iCade Core – The iCade Core offers a stripped down version of the original iCade cabinet and supports the iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch. Like the original iCade, the iCade Core lets you play your iOS games with a real joystick and buttons. Communication is done through Bluetooth, but a 30-pin connector is included to allow for charging while playing. No pricing yet for this slimmed down version.
iCade Mobile – The iCade Mobile is a device that wraps around the iPhone or iPod Touch to give you more of a mobile handheld gaming experience. Again, using Bluetooth alone for the communication, it offers a swiveling landscape or portrait orientation. This one will cost $79.99 when it becomes available this spring.
