^You showed em obie :)

just doing my job

I was wondering about what those 3 buttons (above the PS button) are for. Then I found this:

"Most interesting is that the Wireless Keypad features a mode that converts the entire surface into a touch pad for use with something like navigating a Web page. Also built-in is Bluetooth support and two shortcut buttons that will make it easy for jumping over to the messaging features on the PlayStation 3."

Certainly makes this wireless keypad more valuable. Wait, is this touch pad idea also stolen from Microsoft?

^cool, thanks for info

If i hear this stolen from such and such crap again...Does it matter if microsoft put it on their controller first? Its a great idea and its going to improve the gaming experience. I for one have been wanting one for my ps3 ever since i saw the xbox 360 one.

Is it just me or does this remind anybody of a specific scene from the boondocks on adult swim? Nothing typed by anybodies thumbs has EVER been important..

Does anyone really think that thing is going to be easier to use than the 360 one. I mean why put it on the top of the controller?

I'll be buying one when it comes out.

the priority of holding the controller should always be gaming but not texting.  place the keypad on top of the SIXAXIS/DS3 makes more sense based on how these controllers are designed.
