iCade

I flippin hate apple, and iPod etc....
But this looks awesome!!!!

The iCade($150) from thinkgeek, it is an arcade cabinet accessory for your iPad.
To use the iCade, gently slide the iPad into the docking cradle. The docking cradle uses a standard 30 pin connector to link the iPad to the professional-grade arcade controls. Once the iPad is in place, launch the iCade App (available free in the App Store April 3rd) and it's game on! We didn't want to take any chances you'd run out of juice during your favorite game, so we included a 10w USB power adapter so you can charge the iPad through any electrical outlet.

No, i know... but lets be realistic, it's not that hard to do, nor is it impossible....

Imagine plugging your mobile, laptop into one of these

A couple of thinkgeek's april fools jokes became reality after the fact (the 8-bit tie and the tauntaun sleeping bag, that George Lucas apparently loves)

However I read that this one is a non-starter, Apple aren't fans of 3rd-party peripherals and emulation, though you never know. Would love one of these things, though for the price of an iPad you could buy a proper arcade machine!
