The Consoles Are Dying, Says Developer [Slashdot]

[Griking]

All that iOS needs to do is implement a universal bluetooth game controller/human interface device type profile that any game can map to.

Presently if a developer codes iControl Pad or iCade into their software you can play games with controllers just fine.

It's even easier on Android since that's less of a locked-down programming environment.

it depends on how its designed. I really wouldn't want a portable controller for my portable tablet. That just sounds awkward. Maybe if the controller some how mounted or clipped onto the tablet so a person wouldn't have to hold both separately but i'm not sure how you'd do that without covering some of the screen.
