A company called Ten One Design has announced a $25 joystick for iPad called Fling that attaches to the screen with suction cups.
The Fling goes on top of the on-screen controls, and replaces your direct finger or thumb. The joystick is mostly clear plastic, so you can see through it.
Does this defeat the whole purpose of using an iPad for gaming, which is direct touch on an elegant surface? Or is this just cool?
Fling is available for pre-order Jan. 6.
