Hi all,
I just finished reviewing the iPega PG-9025 Bluetooth Gamepad for Android and iOS. It mimics the Xbox 360 gamepad layout, and also has a set of media buttons allowing volume control, play/pause and skip.

The iPega PG-9025 is pretty impressive, particularly its diverse compatibility. Those using several platforms will be well looked after. The controller was fairly comfortable and performed really well, even though it is let down slightly by some odd button placements. Its perfect for Android users wanting portable gaming or a cheap wireless controller for their mini PC. iOS users are trickier however. Fans of iCade games are well served, but those who desire future compatibility may need to look at the (admittedly far more expensive) MFI controllers.
I gave it 4 out of 5 stars.
Thanks to Tmart for providing me a sample to review. You can get one from them here. Use coupon "g9ivogdh" to get it for $23.99.

For the most part I think MS did a great job in setting high-quality standards for their first gen phones and I'm very satisfied with my Focus. But the greedy power-nerd in me wishes the phones came with HDMI-output.
I'm a little confused as to why MS would leave this out actually. It is coming standard on a lot of high-end phones now. Unless they plan to use the Xbox 360 as an AirPlay-like streaming box (I don't know if you can do that as of now because I don't own one), how does MS expect to offer a competing video out feature?
I remember hearing a story about how MS was planning to introduce a USB-out feature and if they do that would be great because it would be cheaper than the ripoff third party HDMI docks. But I'm worried it won't be able to match up to HDMI's quality.
Anyway, I know this isn't a big deal and it shouldn't be at the top of the fixes/additions list for MS. But can you blame a guy who recently got a 50-inch? I want to use the damn thing for something besides football!
EDIT: I found the PocketNow article about USB A/V out. http://pocketnow.com/windows-phone/report-microsoft-bringing-microusb-a-v-out-to-windows-phone-7
they miss a standard IO port for using external addons hardware too

I can´t post the link caused by too less posting Maybe some other user could do it - just search for PhoneJoy Play at kickstarter :cyclops:

This is my video review of the Nyko Playpad pro. http://youtu.be/9jIK56-NbHU
Initially I thought this was a fairly good controller but after a few weeks over ownership I no longer feel the same. I will do my best to list the pros and cons of this device.
Pros -
Feels nice in the hands and reminds me of an xbox 360 controller
Rechargeable via a micro usb cable
Has a soft touch coating so it feels really comfortable in hand.
Analog sticks work well
Cons -
Picks up grease from your finger tips easily
Is a nightmare to pair and at times I had to restore my Nexus 7 tablet just to get it work
Controls don't feel as tight or lag free like the PowerA Moga controller
Software that was released with the controller is buggy and in beta
works with Ipad but only has icade support (I'd almost it rather it didn't work
Summary
Overall I can't recommend the Moga Playpad Pro. While it has a solid construction, the pairing issues and horrible software given with this device will leave you with a headache rather than enjoying the games your suppose to.
A bluetooth headset bought from Amazon - Tronfy iwork mini 4.0 newest version.
Here is the short video review for unboxing, which you can find its highlights like different pieces of earbuds, allow to connect with one more headset to become a common headset.
Good:
I have used it several days for listen music and receive phone call, the user experience is good. It's easy to wear and carry because its minimal size, the battery life is also long enough, the standby time is 150 hours, but I haven't to test it:dt880smile: In addition, the headset can paired with two device at the same time, there is another important point, the flash light of headset will disturb people near you in the dark environment, so the iwork optimized this function to get rid of flash light.
Shortcoming:
When you connect with another single earbud to become a common, there is a little different feel because different earbud style
