However, as any iPhone gamer can attest, &#8220;conventional&#8221; console-style titles played with large onscreen buttons can be clunky and accelerometer movements are tiring and imprecise.  Some titles, especially action games and emulators, require the feel of a conventional directional pad.  Thankfully, a new product called the <a href=\"http:\/\/sites.google.com\/site\/gamegripper\/other-phones\">Game Gripper<\/a> is in the works for the Palm Pixi.  No pricing or release date is mentioned but the current Droid version is priced at a reasonable $14.99 + $5 S\/H.  <\/p>\n<p>\nCurrently, a version of the Game Gripper is already in production and available for sale for the Motorola Droid, with versions for the Motorola Devour and BlackBerry Bold also hinted at in addition to the Pixi.  Due to the slider design of the Pre form factor, this model is apparently ill-suited to any kind of snap-on controller, despite its improved 3D capabilities relative to its Pixi sibling.\n<\/p>\n<p><br clear=\"both\" style=\"clear: both;\"\/><br \/>\n<br clear=\"both\" style=\"clear: both;\"\/><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/ads.pheedo.com\/click.phdo?s=d13bf3a13c25903cdf7f163c397211f5&#038;p=1\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" style=\"border: 0;\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/ads.pheedo.com\/img.phdo?s=d13bf3a13c25903cdf7f163c397211f5&#038;p=1\"\/><\/a><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" height=\"0\" width=\"0\" border=\"0\" style=\"display:none\" src=\"http:\/\/ib.adnxs.com\/seg?add=24595&#038;t=2\"\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the most surprising and relatively unheralded attributes of WebOS is its prowess for 3D gaming due to its combination of accelerated graphics hardware and APIs within the OS and its SDK.
