It seems gaming on the iPhone is about to get a whole lot more intuitive and a lot more versatile. At least that’s what those by at TouchArcade are saying. They’ve found evidence of two new iPhone control pads that could manufacture it possible to use traditional gaming functions on your iPhone

The iControl pad, pictured above, has four face buttons, Start/Select, a D pad and a light-up LED. that is just a prototype, but it’s definitely better than what we’ve got so far.

Another design is pictured below and it resembles a patent application. Even so, it seems to supply a bit more functionality and could be intended for games that require more precision in their controls. for instance, there is an analog stick in place of a D pad and Start/Select buttons. When the accelerometer isn’t sufficient for maneuvering in a game, that should do the trick.
