Once again, we must tip our hats to the mad geniuses (and our good friends) over at Thinkgeek. They have won the X-Prize of unnecessary iPad accessories with the iCade, a real-life iPad dock that doubles as an old school arcade. It works in conjunction with an iCade app that includes hundreds old standards like Donkey Kong, QBert and Dig Dug in addition to a Super Mario riff called Super Steve Bros, featuring Steve Jobs and Segway-riding Steve Wozniak as the eponymous heroes.  Yours for the low low price of $149.

*Update Turns out the iCade was an April Fool’s joke (just like Thinkgeek’s infamous canned Unicorn Meat). Thanks to the astute reader who actually hit the buy button for letting us know we got punked. Heads will roll!
