Photos of Samsung Wave S7320 Leaked

Samsung announced its latest Bada-based phone called the Samsung Wave  S7320. The smartphone is intended for the average consumer, judging from the lack of Super-AMOLED displays and fast CPU processors, but at least it comes with a decent-looking leather case.

Although the phone has not yet been unveiled to the public, an Italian gadget blog has exposed the Wave S7320’s identity through a series of snapshots and hands-on reviews. According to them, it looks pretty good with a decent build and a metal back cover for a more polished feel.

Updated Xbox 360 Wireless Controller Gets an Update

Everything happened fast, really fast. First, there were rumors circulating that Microsoft  was coming up with an upgraded Xbox 360 controller, with an improved directional pad as its main feature. Then, all of a sudden, a representative of Xbox Live came up with a YouTube video detailing the new controller. According to Larry Hryb, known in the gaming community as Major Nelson, the updated D-pad is a patented design consisting of a disc that can be twisted to raise the crossbars by about a quarter of an inch, thus making the left thumb feel more of the directional configurations.

Also, the analog sticks of this new wireless controller has also been revised to be a bit more concave. Meanwhile, the ABXY buttons are now in monochrome tones instead of the usual colored fare. The matte silver Xbox 360 controller will only come bundled with the Play and Charge kit, costing US$64.99 beginning November 9 in Stateside, while Europeans would get the feel of it come February 2011.
