The biggest thing keeping the iPhone from rendering the Nintendo DSi and Sony PSP Go obsolete is its lack of physical buttons. You just can’t play some games with a touchscreen. And this wacky iHandstick does nothing to solve that.

Instead, it pops the iPhone or iPod Touch into a Playstation-like grip, allowing you to hold it like a controller you’re used to. But the controls will remain the same, and will maybe even be harder to manipulate when holding it like that.

But hey, if you want to try your luck it’s only $17. [USB Fever via Engadget]
