The PartyDock Brings Multiplayer Gaming on the iPhone and iPad

Griffin Technology, the company specialized in bringing to market that all essential iPhone and iPad accessories, has now developed a revolutionary device, called the PartyDock, that enables you to hold multiplayer gaming sessions on your iPhone or iPad device.

The device, is in theory, simple enough since all you have to do is place your iPhone in the docking station and then enjoy multiplayer gaming thanks to the four wireless remotes included.

And since four people trying to distinguish something on that small iPhone screen would certainly be a dealbreaker, Griffin has also added a video out option so you can connect the PartyDock to your widescreen HDTV via component or composite out.

Although this sounds really nice, the PartyDock can only be used together with compatible games, the list being pretty small at this time since there are only three free mini games available, all developed by Griffin, called Midway Motors, Fishing Frenzy and Flippin’ Frogs.

Right now, is still uncertain if other publishers will start to develop compatible PartyDock titles, but Griffin is determined to release more games in the App Store.

Apart from multiplayer gaming, the PartyDock can also be used to control music and video playback as well as picture viewing and is compatible with the iPad too.

Since this just made its appearance on FCC's list, pricing and availability are still unknown. (via wirelessgoodness)
