Following the announcement (http://www.joystiq.com/2012/01/09/icade-unveils-new-ipad-arcade-stick-80-iphone-gamepad-tiny-ar/) of three such devices from iCade, SteelSeries has revealed the Ion Mobile Controller (http://steelseries.com/products/other/steelseries-ion-wireless-controller), a tiny control pad designed to work over Bluetooth with PCs, tablets, or phones. It has a full suite of buttons and analog sticks, and a rechargeable battery for up to 20 hours of use.
As is unfortunately the trend with these things, no list of compatible software has been announced. More details, including pricing, will be revealed as its Q3 release approaches.
Other accessories featured in SteelSeries' lineup include an "ultra-portable" headset (http://steelseries.com/products/audio/steelseries-flux) and a bunch of different mice. It's CES! That's prime "here's a list of accessories" season.
