Good one - glad you got it. Was beginning to think they'd redesigned it. Hopefully you've checked out the Llamasoft games on the iCade. If not you should give them a whirl.
Sorry, won't be in until the next update, which hopefully won't take too long to get out. But not sure when we will submit it. Have other stuff to finish up, and then testing.

May have expired? But searching that site (which I’ve never heard of) iCade does come up, for $53.98 + free shipping, which is still a discount, compared to Amazon’s $70 for instance. (The page seems a little odd, with the product image being broken.)
I randomly came across mention that Oh Hi! Octopi! supports iCade: http://kode80.com/2012/09/04/introducing-oh-hi-octopi/ EDIT: And an hour later... it has gone on sale, too. Not sure how the “2-touch” control is translated to iCade, but I’m about to find out!
Hopefully not too off-topic: I just saw kode80s Simul80 Mac app and tried it out. In theory you can use your Mac (keyboard, USB gamepad, whatever you set up) to send iCade bluetooth keyboard signals to your iPad and play iCade games in new ways! (Plus its a tool to help developers add iCade support without owning one, using either the iPad simulator or a real iPad.) I cant seem to get it to work, though. Anyone have any luck? It works in kide80s video! Heres what I did: 1. In OS X (Lion) Bluetooth prefs, added the iPad, and on the iPad, accepted the pairing code. 2. Set Simul80 to Device mode and hit Start... but it just says "Waiting for device connection forever. (Until I start using my Mac keyboard, and then key codes appear insteadbut each with an error beep.) The iPad receives no signals. What am I missing? The About screen lists some steps but they are not complete/detailed. I have tried toggling Bluetooth at different times, launching Simul80 at different times... but to no avail. Id love to get this working, hook my iPad to a TV, and sit back on my Mac keyboard to game with the arrow keys!
After you set Simul80 to Device and hit start, go back to your iPad and press the device you paired with again. Once I did that, Simul80 said that it paired with my iPad, and I was able to control our game. And I must say that Simul80 is very cool! I hadn't tried it before now.
Yep, no jailbreak required. Ad soon as iMame detects the iCade you're off - provided you've stuck some roms on of course. It really is great stuff.
Like mikeg123 said, just tap your computer's name in the iOS Bluetooth settings screen once it's successfully paired to connect. Also, once you've paired, in theory you shouldn't need to do that step again - although this is occasionally a little temperamental (esp. on iPad for some reason). If you ever run into connection issues when you've connected fine before, simply remove your device from the OSX Bluetooth preferences and then re-pair. Also, since it seems like 9 out of 10 people I speak too had no idea, PS3 controllers are supported in OSX out of the box. You just have to connect it via USB initially, press the controller's home button, then remove the cable and it should show up under OSX Bluetooth preferences.
Fantastic - i've just had a quick blast on defender, stargate and blaster. Still rock hard but beautiful games. Enjoy the iCade with iMame. My kids can't understand why thw games are so hard.
