Two New iPhone Accessories Make Portable Gaming Easier

082608_tf_iPhoneController01.jpgThe iPhone is great, it does more for the average tech consumer than most could ever ask for. But one complaint, not only about the iPhone but of any multi-tasking phone, is that playing most games on the limited controls is difficult. TouchArcade has found some evidence that iPhone accessories for portable gaming are on their way, turing your iPhone into a full-on Nintendo DS-like touch and button gamer.

 
 

iControl pad (above the jump) is a prototype design with and has four face buttons, a D pad, Start/Select and an LED indicator light. TouchArcade received another patent application design anonymously. It has an analog stick instead of a D pad, and places the Start/Select buttons over on the left.
