SteelSeries has introduced a new Bluetooth game controller. The Ion Wireless Controller can be used by both desktop and mobile gamers. SteelSeries has licensed technology from Zeemote to provide support for gaming on smartphones and tablets.
Sony Ericsson and Zeemote today teamed up for a hardware tie-in aimed at spurring mobile gaming. Dutch buyers of the cellphone maker's W760i Walkman phone have the option of getting Zeemote's JS1 Bluetooth joystick for free. The grip-style analog controller gives more precision than the directional pad on most cellphones and permits a class of games that are normally off-limits to feature phones, such as Tomb Raider Anniversary. Two games that support the controller are already included in the box.
