Actually, the iCade devices all use Bluetooth to talk to your device and act like an keyboard, with specific keys sent for pressing and releasing buttons. This means it doesn't care about the 30-pin connector.

This product is mentioned at http://www.ionaudio.com/products/details/icadecore -- I've used an original iCade on my HP TouchPad, my Android tablet, and my iPad.

Worth it, just for the hacking potential. I will figure out if it works with PC out of the box, though. :-)

@unwiredben: The Original iCade does now support Android officially. I was just saying that this version has no mention. And you're right, the connection is via Bluetooth, but the 30-pin connector is for charging, if you want it. I just hope no one is disappointed if this device doesn't work with an Android tablet.

The PricePlunge website mentions that it's "for your iPad or Tablet." But I wouldn't take their word for it.

Ion's own website does not mention it:

A nice review is here:

For those with an iPad (especially an older one that can take advantage of the 30-pin connector), it seems great, though.

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
