Michael Greenberg has come up with an iPad steering wheel accessory called the iDrift.
Its pretty cool, not all that useful at the moment though but meant to fit the same space as the wheels for the wiimote. Its plastic and looks like you could whip one up yourself pretty much.
Negative Comments so far
Comments are pretty negative, but we think that many miss the potential in this concept design.
Sure, its a pretty low key iPad design, but if Michael could figure out how to attach a few buttons to the wheel that would make a big difference to its usability and the potential for use in iPad gaming.
Lucrative Market
Lots of people love racing games on the iPhone and many will love racing games on the iPad. Whoever makes the first set of racing accessories for the iPad is going to be first in line in a lucrative market.
We would suggest a Nascar racing game and then a branded Nascar iPad wheel accessory would be an obvious starting point. Similar tie ins are possible for F1 and others.

I’m actually surprised something like this hasn’t come out for the iPhone/iPod Touch yet
On a vaguely related note, Apple have done the right thing for themselves by not announcing international iPad prices yet, for the pound is tumbling against the dollar in recent weeks (not the Apples UK prices are set on exchange rate alone).
As a longtime Mac guy and Apple fan, I had eagerly planned to buy an iPad. And then: No multitasking, no Flash, no webcam, no… So where’s the value added? Fuggedaboutit.
I bookmarked this link. Thank you for good job!
im loving the ipad personally. what do you think of it now? was it upto your standards?
