Yeah, those are speakers. It looks as if it's designed to completely outdo the wiimote. It does everything the wiimote does and also satisfies the traditional playstation gamers. But yeah, either the balls should be removable, or shrunk.

As I understand it the balls are essential to the way the wand works. So we may not see a wand without it. Though maybe it could be lessened. Like a half-dome at the front of the controller so that its less obnoxious.

A current patent design filed by sony shows a removable ball

Well then I guess I understood wrong. If the ball isn't necessary, WHY IN GOD'S NAME IS THERE A BALL!?
Ridiculous.

I'm guessing it's to act as an numchuck, because it might not be necessary for all games. Plus, if you notice, one design has no balls at all, so that it can play regular games as well.
The ball is there to provide millimeter sensitive feedback. Because of the ball, the controller is actually more much more precise than the wiimote, and does not require a "defaulting" setup, like the wiimotion+ does with wii sports resort.

The PS3 Wand and WM+ are both 1:1 motion tracking. The only thing that would make the wand better would be if it can actually track your position in 3D space, as in if you were closer to the TV or farther away etc, which it probably has to do. Otherwise if you were to do a stabbing motion it wouldn't be able to tell.
