Apparently Atari was pleased with the reception received by their iCade controller done in conjunction with ThinkGeek. They are introducing their own Atari Arcade – Duo Powered Joystick for iPad. Atari is apparently working with Discovery Bay Games to make/sell the controller. There isn’t much information available at Discovery Bay – just that it’s coming soon. No price is listed. It’s designed to work with the Atari’s Greatest Hits iPad app, which is available for free in the iTunes app store. It should be noted that the app gives you access to 100 of Atari’s games, but you’ll have to purchase them. You can buy 25 collections of four games for $0.99 each or get the entire collection for $14.99. The game is available now.

I think Atari should make the arcade compatible with games outside Atari. It would make the product more appealing especially if they can bring some 90s fan favorites into the picture. But I also see this as being a good gift for Atari fans.
