Awesome! Sony managed to copy Nintendo AND Apple in one fell swoop! Hats off to you, Sony.
Good luck with calling it an "EyePad".

The device Sony refers to as an "EyePad" in its patent application, seen in the sketch above, would theoretically come equipped with the usual trappings you'd expect from a PS3 controller: D-Pad, buttons, analog stick, SIXAXIS motion sensors, etc.
