So you're into touchscreen gaming, but there are still many others out there who feel that an old school controller would work better with some games on the iPhone. Enter the iControlPad which will finally enter the mass production stage, where one gets a quartet of buttons, two analog sticks as well as a D-Pad for you to pull off those zany moves in the upcoming Street Fighter IV title for the platform.
