There is a rumor that Apple is currently working on a game controller for easier playing in iPhone.
The rumor started when AnandTech released its review of the latest iPad. In the review, they highlighted one of the advantages of Android tablets is their unique feature to support wired and wireless game controllers. This is quickly followed by the statement that Apple is currently working in making a controller for its iOS devices for easier game playing.
AnandTech reported and the author said, “I know of an internal Apple project to bring a physical controller to market, but whether or not it will ever see the light of day remains to be seen. As smartphones and tablets come close to equaling the performance of current game consoles, I feel like the controller problem must be addressed.”
Although most of the games work quite well using the touch screen, there are some games that work best with physical buttons that are available in game controllers.
There are third party controllers that works with iPhone, iPod, and iPad such as iControlPad, Ion Audio’s iCade game controllers, Think Geek’s iCade 8-bitty controller etc or accessories such as Fling. These game controllers connect to iOS devices via Bluetooth.

Just like the network AT&T, Verizon followed its footsteps in killing its unlimited data plans for their smartphone consumers like iPhone last July 7, 2011. However, it seems that the users figured out how to trick the system and get unlimited data plan.
Verizon customers are still enjoying unlimited data plans even after the network killed the service. Surprisingly, the trick also works on iPhone bought even after the unlimited data plan is no longer offered by the network.
People from Slick Deals posted on the forum how to get the unlimited data plan for your Verizon smartphone. Follow the step-by-step guide below. However, one must remember that even if the method works for you, Verizon has the power to put you back on a tiered data plan at any time.
1. Dial *611 from your Verizon phone, or 1-800-922-0204 from any phone.
2. Wait for computer CSR to go through the main menu. You will need your Verizon phone # and account PIN or last 4 of SSN.
3. Hit option 4.
4. When it asks you what you would like to do today say “Add a feature.”
5. If you have a 3G device (which includes all iPhones): Say you would like to add the $20 2GB 3G Mobile Hotspot FEATURE to your phone If you have a 4G device: Say you would like to add the $30 Unlimited 4G Mobile Hotspot FEATURE to your phone. According to http://stopthecap.com/2011/07/12/…r-account/ , they may be able to locate this feature via referencing feature code #76153.
6. Your data plan will now be the $29.99 unlimited data plan, and you’ll have either the 2GB or unlimited Mobile Hotspot feature on top of that.
7. {OPTIONAL – if you don’t want the Mobile Hotspot feature} Log into My Verizon and remove the Mobile Hotspot FEATURE from your account. Many people recommend waiting a few days (at a minimum) to remove the feature. The $29.99 unlimited data plan should remain on your account.
8. If they say they can’t add that feature to your plan, or that you must bundle your data + mobile hotspot service together as a single data plan, tell them thank you, hang up, and repeat the steps above.
No sanctions were reported that are dropped by Verizon to customers hacking their way to get unlimited data plans. However, everyone is advised to proceed on their own risk.
