There is no doubt of the popularity of touchscreen panels, but there are plenty of folks out there who miss using actual joysticks and buttons to control a game. Now the folks over at Ten One Designs have come up with the Fling, a tactile game controller accessory for the iPad. All you have to do is stick it on the iPad via the suction cups and you've got an iPad that offers an analog joystick. It's mostly transparent too, minimizing the distraction against the iPad's display. The piece that comes into contact with the display is made of conductive material, ensuring that the iPad's capacitive display will continue to accept the input. It might be a tad expensive at $25, but it's better than not having the option of purchasing it. Video after the jump.
