http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2012/10/8bitty14.jpg (http://www.joystiq.com/2012/10/30/thinkgeeks-8-bitty-is-the-most-practical-of-an-impractical-b/)I don't have an iCade (http://www.joystiq.com/2012/01/09/icade-unveils-new-ipad-arcade-stick-80-iphone-gamepad-tiny-ar/). Though a tiny custom arcade cabinet for my iPad is a lot more attainable than a full-sized arcade machine, it's still far enough into the "frivolity" category that I haven't made the plunge ... plus, I don't have an iPad, and the iCade is a bit cavernous for my tiny phone.
The 8-bitty (http://www.joystiq.com/2012/02/13/icade-8-bitty-is-your-ios-devices-new-wireless-nes-controller/), produced for Thinkgeek (http://www.thinkgeek.com/product/ecea/) by iCade maker Ion, takes every bit of the iCade's functionality, and shrinks it down into an affordable, portable, and iPhone-friendly control pad. Nobody on Earth actually needs a gamepad for their iOS device, but this is as close to practical as one is going to get.
