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.
