The Phonejoy Bluetooth Controller is a familiarly-shaped gaming controller for Android smartphones. This controller will let you to wirelessly control the action in games, replacing annoying and difficult to use touch-screen controls. In any game that supports button remapping, you’ll be able to swap to the much more comfortable Phonejoy.
With the thousands of games available to play on Android, via standalone games and emulators of past platforms, you can put the Phonejoy to good use. It works over Bluetooth as mentioned before, meaning a wireless connection just like you’d expect on a console. There’s also no playing around with USB host cables or rooting your phone; everything works perfectly with all Android 2.2 and above phones.

The controller is ideally paired with an mobile phone desk stand, so that you can keep your phone’s display at a convenient angle. You could also go big-screen with an MHL to HDMI TV-Out Adapter, letting you connect any MHL-enabled phone (such as the Samsung Galaxy S2, HTC Sensation or HTC Evo 3D) to your HDTV.
This should make for some incredibly epic gaming!

The Kinect is the ultimate party game for playing with your friends, so there’s nothing worse than realising that your friend’s original Xbox 360 doesn’t have the port to support the Kinect! Luckily Gaming Zap has the prefect solution to this problem: The Kinect Adapter Power Supply for Original Xbox 360.
Kinect Adapter Power Supply for Original Xbox 360
This Kinect adapter allows you to connect your Kinect to the original Xbox 360, meaning you can play your Kinect on both style Xboxes, something you couldn’t do before as this Kinect adaptor isn’t included in the Kinect Bundle.
Another great feature of the Kinect Adapter is that it doubles up as a secondary, replacement Kinect power supply, meaning there’s no need to panic if you lose or damage your original lead.
Keep the party going, as the Kinect adaptor opens the Kinect up to more players and more possibilities, making it one of the best Kinect accessories around.
The Kinect for Xbox has been around for six months now, but it seems that we’re all still having problems playing it in our small living rooms. If you’re anything like me you’ve tried moving the coffee table and aiming the sensor so that you can stand in the doorway, but nothing seems to work! Luckily our sister site Gaming Zap has just the product that can help us all: the Nyko Zoom for Kinect.
Nyko Kinect Zoom Lens
The specially designed optical lenses allow you to play up to 40% closer to the screen than before; meaning no more huddling in doorways and fighting for space; as this allows two people to play in the same space that would previously have only accommodated one.
Even our friends at Joystiq and CNET have been having issues with living room space:
Couch too close to the television? Just move it, the sensor advises. Massive coffee table right where you should be standing? Just slide it out of the way, it suggests. For some of us, this ad-hoc redecorating process is relatively painless. For others a massive, solid wood coffee table isn’t moved so easily. - Joystiq
I’ve had a rough experience with the Kinect in New York City, mainly because my living room has only about 6 feet between my 32-inch TV and the edge of my sofa. The Kinect requires a good 6 to 10 feet of space between the user and it, according to documentation in the games we received. That’s a huge amount of room in most urban apartments, especially as that space also needs to be open and unobstructed. The Kinect’s setup process suggests you move furniture if necessary, a task that’s impossible for me, and an unkind expectation for most people. - CNET
The Nyko Zoom simply clips on top of the Kinect sensor, so there’s no additional cables or installation and upgrades required. The design of the Zoom blends in with the look and feel of the Kinect making it one of the ultimate Kinect accessories available.
The much-anticipated Xperia Play has been going down a storm with gaming fans, who can now experience PSP gaming on the go with the first ever Playstation certified smartphone. Two devices in one, the handset is also proving popular with retro gamers who are enjoying the opportunity to play classic Playstation games legally with the use of an emulator.
Of course, there’s a downside to gaming with a handheld device rather than from the comfort of your own sofa. Anyone who spends a lot of time glued to their controller knows that those things need to be able to take a lot of wear and tear, and it’s easy to envisage how a few hours a day jabbing away at your poor Xperia Play could lead to knocks and scratches.
Luckily it’s not too hard to protect your handset whilst you’re gaming with an Xperia Play screen protector, and our favourite is the InvisibleShield.
Invisible Shield Screen Protector for Xperia Play
The InvisibleShield Screen Protector for Xperia Play is made to measure, so it fits perfectly over the device’s screen, and provides completely invisible and scratch-proof protection whilst you game, text or surf the web. InvisibleShield film is the toughest available on the planet, too; originally designed by the military for use on the edges of helicopter blades, and it’s more than a match for a spot of Assassins Creed or FIFA 2010.
You can also grab an Xperia Play case via the Mobile Fun website to keep your new favourite toy safe whilst you’re on the go.
Launch of the Xperia Play and the equally-anticipated Xperia Arc got off to a bumpy start as production was severely impaired by the recent geological disasters in Japan, leading to major shipping problems and most UK networks delaying the launch of the phones.
Yesterday we were lucky enough to be invited to Gadget Show Live 2011 at Birmingham NEC, the UK’s ultimate consumer electronics show which is now in its third year and more successful than ever!
Here at Mobile Fun we often help out the Gadget Show on C5 with quality kit for them to take a butchers at – we even had the very lovely Otis & Suzi filming in our warehouse the other month!
If you’ve never been to Gadget Show Live, hopefully this blog post should give you a bit of a flavour. It takes place over 5 days within several enormous halls at the NEC, all stuffed to the brim with everything the gadget and gaming geek could ever want. There’s also a dedicated Gaming Zone, giving you sneak-peaks at the latest and upcoming games – all accompanied by the tinkling sound of tunes from Zelda and Final Fantasy being played on a grand piano. Lovely stuff.
We found some cool bits and pieces for tablets and smartphones, which we got the lowdown on, and I’ll be posting on in a few follow-up blogs in more detail – there’s a lot of exciting stuff coming up for the iPad 2, of course, and a huge variety of iPad 2 skins and covers, some of which we’ll be getting our mitts on as stock in the near future!
Laura, our Online Blogger Liaison, tried her hand at a spot of 3D gaming with NVIDIA 3D vision, which gives you the ultimate 3D experience right at your fingertips on your desktop or notepad. As they had specially-designed moving seats at the show it was a bit of a bumpy ride on the racing game she tried! Here she is enjoying herself – or more accurately, crashing the car every two minutes and screaming quite a lot.
I had a bit of a science fiction moment playing on Neurosky’s mind control games, which made me feel like I’d stepped straight into an Asimov novel. Neurosky’s Mindwave Headset is the EEG headset that’s available for the commercial market, and measures brainwaves from the forehead with pinpoint medical accuracy – now that’s really brain-training! They’ve got a variety of fun and educational games, and I had a go on the archery simulator, where you have to attempt to score a bullseye by altering your brainwaves. The Mindwave measures how much attention you’re paying, and how relaxed you’re feeling, so repeated use can train you to become better at both focus and relaxation – both very handy life-skills which I’ll be trying those out around the office!
We also particularly liked a device called the Sound Driver, which lets you transform a flat surface such as a desk or table into an amplifying device to make your music really pump – sounds a bit weird, but it was very impressive! We also saw a lot of flat panel DML speakers which disguise themselves as canvas pictures, so that your room is full of music but not full of unsightly wires and clunky speakers.
A lot of the gadgets around the show gave us a great glimpse into the home of the future, from rubbish bins with sensors that detect when to open and close, to adapters that let you control your lighting, heating and electrical equipment using any web-based smartphone. We even spotted The Gadget Show’s Suzi and Jon taking filming a very cute-looking robotic lawnmower!
One robot who wasn’t quite so cute was the enormous Titan, who caused a stir wherever he went by suddenly launching himself into the crowd. Here’s some video that we caught of him trying to chat up a poor innocent old lady – who reciprocated by stroking his face with a cleaning cloth!
