A friend of mine has this and it's actually pretty lame. Even he's not that impressed with it. For the price, it's not worth it IMO. It's just a stand as the controls are connected via bluetooth. The Atari app isn't that great. Some of the games don't always work and you have to purchase each one individually. Not much software support other than that. Not sure if it works with MAME on a jailbroken iPad.

I don't even have an iPad I figured I would share since some people here seem to like it. It is the same as the Think Geek one with different side art.

Yup, that's the one. Not trying to bash your thread, just sharing my opinions on the product. If you have the cash to burn, then it makes for a pretty cool iPad stand.
 
The Atari pack can be purchases game by game for $1 each or the whole 100 pack for $15. They are gradually improving the controls on the Atari pack.
 
I don't think any of the arcade games in the Atari app even had joysticks except for Black Widow which would need two... Is playing Centipede, Missile Command, Tempest better with these alternate wrong controls? I don't think so.

Might be OK for 2600 games, which mostly suck.
