hey I'm Scott Steinem why does this I'm holding in my hand is this a some sort of old-fashioned atari lynx or next generation game handheld no it's an iPod touch docked into the Moga ace power this is an iOS game controller that's gonna be available now cost 100 bucks but it turns your iPhone or iPod touch with a lightning connector into a little handheld game system now how does this magic work well there's actually a whole set of instructions in iOS 7 that allow any game if it wants to to connect to a third party controller like this one this includes the ability to use all the controls that you would expect maybe on a 3ds on a PS Vita or on any sort of next gen or current gen game console and be able to boil them down into a little handheld that also has a battery pack for recharging it fits the iPhone 5 the iPhone 5c the iPhone 5s and the 5th generation iPod Touch now in order to attach an iPod or iPhones you just slot it out and potentially use one of three two different connectors with this now because this connects of lightning there are some pastor options that you wouldn't get with Bluetooth the headphone port is blocked up here but you do get headphone pass there at the bottom of the controller and if you want to recharge this it accepts microUSB the charging option of choice for many people to recharge this entire system and get that battery pack up to snuff when not in use the ACE Power compresses down into a little travel form which looks like a little controller be kind of awesome if you could just hold it and play like this but unfortunately it's not meant to work like that it only is meant to connect with your iPhone or iPod Touch in this mode sorry this type of controller capability has been available on Android for a while so maybe Android users are saying what's the big deal Nvidia shield and all those things like it but there hasn't been anything like that on iOS and iOS frankly has the better game library the Moga ace power really demonstrates that you can now connect a full game controller onto an iPod onto an iPhone maybe in the future to an iPad and do all the things you thought games should do a hundred dollars is expensive but if you think of it as a stocking stuffer for someone who's game adicted in your family it's not too high price to pay compared to consoles I'm Scott Stein and that's a look at the Moga ace power available now
