GameDock lets you turn your iPhone in to a gaming console that works with classic Nintendo-style controllers and outputs to your television.

With the GameDock for iOS you can play classic games the way they were meant to be played: with two controllers and a TV. Just plug the dock into your TV like a video game console and your iOS device into the dock like a game cartridge. The GameDock is designed to be compatible with existing iCade games and for dock-ready games that include two-player support and full 1080p HDTV output.

GameDock is seeking funding on Kickstarter. A pledge of $150 will get you an early unit. The project has raised $10,902 towards its $50,000 goal and has 42 days left.

Take a look at the video below for more information...

They should wait for the iphone launch so they can bundle a peripheral adapter for the current adapter on the system if you get what i mean. Like an adapter that goes on the old iphone dock thus converting it to the new one so you have two choices. I know i have a good business aspect =)!

Wouldnt be that hard to have removable connectors to accomodate both old/new if apple does change connectors

Its true there are so many people waiting for the next iPhone , and assuming that it really will have a different type of connector that could crash your whole idea to the ground , fuck that lets think on what it's coming now

Okay in theory, but what about games? Do I have to own all the ancient cartridges to play the ROMS? The licensing is going to destroy your investment.

Yep, let's buy the latest tech and hook it up to something that looks like it was built thirty years ago....I don't think so.
