Potential PS4 controller image surfaces

UPDATE: Last night, IGN's Colin Moriarty tweeted that a personal source has confirmed the veracity of the image below. Specifically, his source indicates that the controller pictured below is a prototype of the PlayStation 4 controller's final design. The same source claims that the L2 and R2 triggers will be spring-loaded (much like the Xbox 360 controller's trigger design), and that the light atop the controller functions as a PlayStation Move sensor. Furthermore, a second trusted source close to IGN has indicated that the touch panel seen on the model below is actually press-able (like a button).
Original: A picture has surfaced which includes what looks to be a new PlayStation controller along with what is presumably a PlayStation 4 dev kit.
This controller has the much rumoured touchpad on the front along with a D-pad similar to the one on the PlayStation Vita. It also includes different analog sticks and looks to be chunkier than a DualShock 3. There also appears to be a speaker above the PS button and maybe a headphone jack underneath. This is by no means the final controller, but is a good indicator as to what to expect. Personally, I want to see those triggers, and, if they are good, this controller could be a winner.
Check out the picture below, and use the space below to speculate on what you see.

I think it's the perfect blend between the existing dualshock design (that we all know and love) and new input methods. With the obligatory refinement all prototypes receive (especially sony's), this definitely will be comfy controller to use. Personally I'm glad they got rid of the rubber start/select buttons, never liked the feel of those especially compared to the nice clicky face buttons. A touchpad, I think, will work as a much better and more flexible substitute.

Thats a trip. Can't wait to see the final design.
@10- Go to the Xbox for that slick! You want offset designs, MS is the king of that. Good ol American design. =(

Looks like PS Move functionality is built right into the controller with the led light on top...hmmm, interesting.

This could be real but whats really catching my attention is the usb 3.0 fast transfer speeds between devices. Al controller has blue led above like the ps move controller. Lets hope for the best. Its all about keeping us games happy.

This could be an actual photo of the prototype so the final version might be a bit different, remember when sony revealed the new controller for PS3, the famousely rejected "boomerang controller", that changed dramaticly. Guess we'll just have to wait to see sony's official reveal of the PS4.

Am i the only person thinking that if Sony are to add a touch/track pad to the controller, it will be on the back like the PS Vita? what would be the point in having it on the front for games? you cant use it while your thumbs are on the sticks! On the reverse they could be used at the same time, for climbing etc.
