I found this great review and video of Simcity done by AppVee (great source for iPhone App News and Reviews - get their review app from the AppStore) for the iPhone/Touch that is now available via the AppStore.

Marware’s Game Grip for iPhone 3G and iPod touch gives you a classic gaming feel that’ll be especially familiar to users of Microsoft’s SideWinder motion-sensing PC gaming controller.
Be warned: Like Nintendo’s Wii Racing Wheel, this is little more than an elaborate holder for your iPhone, like the Wii Wheel, some players may find it indispensable for certain games.
