iPad gets its very own joystick

Miss the tactility of a joystick when you play iPad games? You are not alone! Or at least, Ten One Designs hopes you are not alone, or its new tactile game controller for the iPad is going to sell like crap.
This is the ‘Fling’, a tiny, transparent analog stick with suction cups that can be stuck over your iPad’s on-screen joystick. Result? Fewer finger prints and tighter control. It’s sort of clever, if I’m honest.
This $24.95 clip-on suck-on comes with a small microfiber carrying pouch, and you can pre-order one from Ten One from January 6th.
