Posted by Richard Cody on Wed, 08 Apr 2009 02:59:00 EDT in Production
A game controller/protective case (so it doesn't have to fit around your existing casing). 2 shoulder buttons, analog stick w/ cover (for when it's in your pocket), and a few face buttons. Apple's the first party and the one to set the standard. Money..

Games are the one type of app I think should get away with higher pricing for enhanced versions. Other apps just throw in high definition interfaces. Games stand to gain from the bigger screen of the iPad and it's enhanced features. .99 cents for an iPhone/iTouch/iPad combo is the new ...
