New software controls PC games via iPhone
The TechCrunch 50 conference has already introduced us to the console-to-PC streaming set-top box made by Spawn Labs. Now another new company, iMo, has made its debut at the same conference. Their product promises to turn an iPhone or iPod Touch into a PC game controller.
Basically the software uses the product's accelomenter to control the movement of PC games via WiFi. There must be special software downloaded for the PC as well as the iPod/iPod Touch app for the system to work. We are not sure if this will replace the mouse/keyboard combo or a regular joystick or gamepad anytime soon. The video presenting the software at TechCrunch 50 was entertaining, however. At the moment the software is in private beta and there's no word on a price or release date.

Actually this has been done several times already. Unless this software is going to be integrated into games..

I have that for my iPhone, its pretty interesting. It features a laptop like touchpad or you can make it sorta like a Wiimote. Although the wiimote mode is strangely calibrated. Its barely sensitive when u move it a bit, but move it a little more and it goes super fast.
Its also got a full keyboard and other options. Different sets of controls (i.e. keyboard, or just certain parts, kinda like the gaming ASDW/macro devices that wow and FPS's use.)
I think it cost 2 bucks?Posted at 11:50PM on Sep 14th 2009 by Aftermathmatical
