Griffin PartyDock offers 4 player gaming fun

Griffin Technology are a long time favourite of mine when it comes to iPod, iPhone and iPad accessories. This time around though they have both surprised me and announced a device that is so exciting it could change the way we think about gaming on our iDevices.

The PartyDock (pictured) is primarily a dock for your iPhone, iPod touch on indeed iPad. It charges the devices (of course), but also outputs the video to your TV and includes a little dock area for four wireless rechargeable controllers. This enables you to sit back and enjoy gaming on the big screen, with three mini-games and one full game included with the device (downloadable via the iTunes App Store). I look forward to review this one.
