Zeemote JS1 Mobile Gaming Controller Now Available

If I want to play games with a controller, I will play my XBOX360!!!

This is a waste of money!!!

agreed. get a ds or a psp if you want mobile gaming. if you can afford a blackberry, you should be able to afford a ds or psp

it's not just for games though, you can control and navigate all apps - that's kinda cool

As a regular business traveller this would be an awesome way to get some good game play and kill some time - away from emails

You need a third option for the poll. "Yes this is a cool idea, but I wouldn't buy one."

Waste of money...

$40 come on, spend another $60 or so and buy a DS or something. Seriously 90% of phone games blow my ...

with TV out - how awesome would that be!

NO!

Set your BB down on a table and use this to control a 2.5" screen?
I will stick with my dslite.....

A clip on controller would make more sense. A wireless controller for a BB looks like it'd be awkward to use in most places.

But the quality of games on BB still leaves a lot to be desired. My iPhone has a lot of great games, but controlling them using the on screen direction pad was frustrating. After 5 minutes of playing Assassin's Creed and Resident Evil: Degeneration (that's 5 minutes combined), I gave up on it. Graphics were nice, but controls stank.

this is retarded.

The last game I played with a trackball was Missile Command and golf in the arcade. Shows my age! :-) Trackball not ideal for most all games hence the joysticks on PS3 and XBox... I did try H.A.W.X on my BlackBerry and my plane with Trackball was soooo slow to respond and the keypad was too cramped to play (lots of missed keys).

I like the idea of a joystick to control my games on my BlackBerry. I plan on buying one to kill some time on my mundane train trip to work. Seems like a cool product and a good deal... Hmmm, buy a case for $25-30 (for a piece of rubber) or a Bluetooth joystick to control games, skip tracks for my music etc.

There is a cool factor to it in the sense that it's a new gadget. I just don't think it's really worth it.

I consider myself a hardcore gamer but $40 for a controller for smartphones games. I'll wait till this dies down....purchase it on ebay for cheap

Ebay has them already, averaging $23 with free shipping.

I think this would be great for the Storm to utilize the big screen as you don't have many other opions ie trackball, keyboard other than games that rely on tilt or have a pop up controller that takes up half the screen. Whether you'd carry it around with you is another story ( leave it in the office for those mid-morning 45min coffee breaks ;) )

sometimes gamers are hard to play on any phone due to the controls. But it woul be nice to try as for a beta tester or.. even have a contest to get one of these bad boys to try out. But for that price... does Vaseline come with it?

$40 is a bit too much allright. Maybe for Christmas..?? Will probably give it a try
