Any news on the iPad joystick? I saw an ad that there’s a joystick for an iPad already. Hmmm. I’m curious. Anyone here who has tried the said joystick?

Do you mean the iCade, the make-believe arcade cabinet? I'm not aware of any other joysticks for the iPad, but there are sets for the iPhone.
The new Mac Pro has up to 30 MB of cache inside the processor itself. That's more than the HD in my first Mac. Somehow I'm still running out of space.

It's not make-believe. I have an iCade in my house. It was on sale for CAD$79.99.



They also have a joystick without the cabinet out for it, but apparently it's not as nice.

There are also stick-on joysticks available.

By the way, the iCade is very nice. It uses Bluetooth, and is very responsive... for the little bit I've used it. Unfortunately, I don't have enough time to play games so much these days so I haven't given it a full workout.

you really need one of those to play pacman properly. That's a game that touch does nothing for.
