ION Audio has introduced a new gadget for working with iPhone devices. This device was announced at the 2012 International Computer Exhibition. iCade Mobile is aimed at fans of older console games.
iCade Mobile is a game controller that uses the iPhone as a display. It should be noted right away that the device works in conjunction with iPod players. In this case, we are talking about 4 and 5 series of players. Externally, the assembled device vaguely resembles the popular console from Sony.
There are function keys on the main panel of iCade Mobile. The standard model is equipped with 6 buttons and a D-pad. This is more than enough to successfully work with the hundreds of supported products available for download on the App Store.
After installing the smartphone in the console case, you need to turn on the Bluetooth module on the iPhone. After that, the equipment will be synchronized. During testing of the device, no delays were found in the transfer of data from the console to the smartphone.
When purchasing iCade Mobile to work with iPod Touch players, it is recommended to check the compatibility of the selected model. Another interesting feature of the console is the ability to vertically mount the display (iPhone). This allows you to significantly expand the range of supported gaming programs. Many fans of older games have already approved this option.
ION Audoi has previously produced similar console devices. The first iCade was designed to work with an Apple tablet. After combining the devices, the user received a kind of analogue of the slot machine.
The iCade Mobile game console is powered by spirit AA batteries. It should be noted that the gadget does not have a charger. If you plan to use rechargeable batteries, make sure you purchase the appropriate spare parts in advance. The approximate cost of iCade Mobile will be 2,000 rubles. The console is already available for purchase in foreign online stores and on the official website of the ION Audio company.
