Announced alongside its new flagship phone, the Galaxy S IV, this new BT gamepad will allow us to finally play some mobile games comfortably and less stressful. Of course if developers support it. It will hold a phone sizes from 4″ – 8″, will be powered by AAA batteries and connects via BT. Finally we can play emulated OG games properly. It does look a bit like an Xbox controller and I’m not really keen on those, but beggars can’t be choosers right? Click on the link below for more info.

This looks nifty. The button setup is just.. Ugh. I Hate the 360 button scheme. Dunno what designer thought that asymmetric joystick placement was a good idea but yuck. Such an eyesore.
yeah, I’m not a fan, but hey, if it works.
There was a similar device in a Verizon store I went to yesterday. Was more ps3 centric. Still clunky tho.
