Like playing games on your phone, but hate using your gigantic, game-dominating hands on an itty-bitty touch screen? Enjoy the convenience of carrying around your own PlayStation controller, but hate trying to squeeze your television into a backpack? Then you'll be delighted to hear the Sixaxis Controllerapp makes many mobile Android phones and tablets compatible with the Sixaxis and DualShock 3 PlayStation controllers.
