Joystiq right now is having a contest on the best redesign of the announced but not delivered PS3 controller. The controller is pretty much universally seen as terrible, even pre-launch. This is the kind of thing companies would do well to learn from. Here are people telling you what is crappy, and even doing the redesign for you. I can gurantee you though, that sony is hiring companies to run focus groups on this instead. Hey, there is a big focus group you can use, it’s called your customers. Markets are conversations and all of that other cluetrain goodness.

In similiar but slightly different news, maybe when everyone thinks you are going to make a small linux pc for cheap running a google os, it’s not such a bad idea…
