Joypad: Big Screen iOS Gaming - As Long As You've Got An iPhone, iPad And Apple TV

It sounds like a lot to ask for - an iPhone, iPad and an Apple TV. But if you do happen to own all three devices, an app called "Joypad" can allow you to play your favorite iOS games on the "big screen," provided the games' developers implement its API.
Here's how it works: Your iPhone is the controller, and the iPad is the display. If you only have these two devices, this is enough to enjoy Joypad - you'll just have to settle for the iPad's 9.7 inch screen. However, if you're rocking an Apple TV (hooked up to an HDTV), you can AirPlay the iPad's display and play through the iOS app on a TV.
Furthermore, the controller itself is highly customizable - users can configure a set of buttons that suits them before using the app.
The application, Joypad, is currently available to download in the App Store for free. And currently, a handful of games are already compatible with the application, which is great. If you have an iPhone and iPad (and even an Apple TV), take a look at the app now, and let us know your thoughts in the comments.
