There’s no doubt that the game selection for Apple iPhone and touch devices is only getting larger and better, but the actual gameplay experience can sometimes leave much to be desired because iPhones and touches are slick devices with no handles or grips.
What if you could take the iPhone or touch, and pop it into a device that would make it easier to grip and easier to use for two handled play? For $16.99 at USB Fever, you can.
The iHandstick’s premise is simple enough — add a comfortable set of handlebars combined with a holster, and then you can hold the iPhone or touch without fear of dropping. To make either the iPhone 3G / 3GS or touch fit properly, inserts are included to hold the selected device in place.

I have had a fascination with all types of gadgets and gizmos since I was a child, beginning with the toy robot that my grandmother gave my brother - and which I promptly "relieved him of" in 1973. I have long been captivated by devices that did anything interesting or served a unique purpose - however silly.
My first computer was a TRaSh-80, and since then I have worked my way through an alarming number of desktops, laptops and handheld devices.
I have been writing online consumer device reviews since 1999, and I've greatly enjoyed having a legitimate reason to try out almost every doo-dad that catches my fancy. I can't tell you how everything works - but I am known for using a product until I have a full understanding of what it does, what its limitations are, and if it excels in any given area...or not.

Okay, that's cool. Now if they add some buttons to it, an analog joystick, and get the gaming developers to support it, I'll be in gaming-nerd heaven.
