Apple is adding physical game controller support in iOS7, and the first gamepad hardware for the iPhone has apparently been caught in the wild. The Logitech-made snap-on gadget is "large enough to fit an iPhone 5" Kotaku says, and indeed has a Lightning connector meaning those with older versions of Apple's handset will either have to upgrade or hope Logitech and others tipped to join in the hardware push will release versions with the older 30-pin connector.

Mad Catz Project M.O.J.O. hands-on
Though we’re still back in the prototype stages here with the Mad Catz Android-based gaming console called “Project M.O.J.O.“, we’ve still had the opportunity to take a look at the basic build here at E3 2013. This machine aims to do battle with the few similar products on the market today, namely OUYA, for starters, and remains without a set of solid innards: they MIGHT be going with NVIDIA Tegra 4 for their final build, for example.
Nyko NVIDIA SHIELD accessories hands-on
Just after first hearing about Nyko’s accessory contributions to NVIDIA SHIELD earlier today, we’ve gotten the opportunity check theses accessories out first hand at E3 2013!

Nyko turns NVIDIA SHIELD into mini console with simple dock setup
The folks at Nyko have decided E3 to be the perfect place to let it be known that they're on-board with NVIDIA and their soon-to-be-released SHIELD gaming device for accessories from the get-go.

BubblePod makes panoramas a wind-up with 360 clockwork mount
Taking panoramic photos is something most smartphones can manage, but jerky, wobbly 360-degree shots usually come down to user error rather than technical issues. BubblePod is hoping to change that with its new Kickstarter project, a clockwork 360-degree mount that works with tripods for those moments when you came prepared, and slots into the mouth of a spare wine bottle for impromptu social shots.

This week the folks at Mad Catz have made it clear that they'll be joining the Android In The Living Room fad with a gaming console known as Project MOJO.
