Super Gaming Device

Whether or not you’re interested in video games, this device is kind of fascinating from an industrial design/interface design point of view. The PhoneJoy Play is essentially a portable input device with a slick mechanical design: The two holdable halves can spread sideways, connected by a telescoping mechanism. Your smartphone or mini-tablet can then be ‘docked’ in the middle, and the variety of buttons and motion pads interact with your device wirelessly… At its heart, the PhoneJoy Play is no different than a wireless keyboard you pair with your tablet: It provides physical buttons that can perform more precise tasks than you can by rubbing your finger against glass. But it is unique in that it’s targeted specifically towards gamers.
