1. Let's not really mention gimmicks. Nintendo was the one who pioneered analog sticks, camera controls (C-buttons), rumble paks and RF wireless in video game console controllers, and all have been "influenced" into the current standard designs of the competitors' controllers. Whatever is the actual "revolutionary" feature of this controller is sure to be as much of a new standard as the rest, and not a disappointment.2. This is yet another blog with yet more speculated features. So far we've heard of PDA/DS touch-style screens, changable buttons, gyrometrics, hot/cold feedback, rubbing sensors, etc. Hope I'm not missing any. Once again, we'll just have to wait and see.Personally, I think the new feature is most likely going to be some electronic screen-related feature.

Jackington, I'm not sure if you meant to say that the Wavebirds currently use BlueTooth - but they most certainly do not. They are 900Mhz.

seems like the most expensive part of the console is going to be the controller.
