No, I don't like portable consoles and phones merging at all. It means the death of good portable games if all we have is a touchscreen.
No it doesn't. Look at this: http://icontrolpad.com/

Apple actually filed a patent for this right out from under them. You can read about it here: http://games.slashdot.org/story/10/04/02/2110233/DavidGoliath-Story-Brewing-Between-Apple-and-iControlPad-Makers

Expect this sort of control attachment announced by Apple very soon. Like maybe even next month, alongside the new iPod Touch with retina display.
