iControlPad team claims Gametel controller 'IP violation', contacts lawyers
|

If you think the iOS and Android iControlPad Bluetooth peripheral and the recently featured Gametel wireless controller both look more than a little bit similar, you're not the only one.

Pocket Gamer has been contacted by the iControlPad's Craig Rothwell, who has informed us that he plans to take legal action over the Gametel Bluetooth controller.

"We're speaking to our lawyers in regards to an obvious IP violation," Rothwell said.

According to the iControlPad's creator, the Gametel alternative is "inferior" and an "obvious rip off of the British made iControlpad".

You can check them both out for yourself in the images below.
