Wait, how can the OnLive controller support iOS? AFAIK iOS only supports Bluetooth HID keyboards, not joysticks/gamepads.

See also Core Bluetooth (though that's somewhat different, being for Bluetooth 4LE devices).

According to this page the external accessory framework can only be used if the accessory developer is participating in the MFi program. I couldn't find any "Made for iPad" logos on OnLive's page.

Maybe it pretends it's a keyboard. It's not like they're tied down to gamepad drivers.

That's how iCade's products work.
