The Gametel wireless controller connects to your phone via Bluetooth. The controller features a retractable slot that can be used to hold your phone in place. Up to four controllers can connect to one phone, letting you take your mobile phone gaming to the next level. The Gametel wireless controller currently supports over 50 mobile games and is set to be released sometime in December with a price tag of around $78. Cellphone games have come a long way since the days of 'Tetris' and 'Snake.' It may not be long before all smartphones come with official game pad accessories.
