It is what it sounds like, kids. Logitech, clearly on a tablet accessories tear (http://www.engadget.com/2011/08/16/logitechs-clip-on-tablet-speaker-latches-onto-your-slate-for-de/), just trotted out another toy for the iPad. This time, it's a suction cup joystick that sits on the screen (http://www.engadget.com/2011/01/07/fling-ipad-joystick-thumbs-on/), inviting people to gawk at you while you play Pac Man in Starbucks. As you can see in the photos, this isn't a ball-capped (http://www.engadget.com/2011/05/31/ion-icade-arcade-cabinet-review/) joystick so much as a laptop-style pointing stick masquerading as a retro controller. That nub has a flat, slick surface, and without much of an indentation or textured grip, it's easy for your finger to slip off. It'll go on sale next month for $19.99, an appropriate price for what will most likely be an impulse buy. For now, we've got video of it in action after the break.
