The Microsoft Universal Gaming Controller revealed as a prototype at this year's E3 will be designed for use on Windows-based PCs and the Xbox 360, the controller will allow gamers to enjoy a consistent playing experience across Microsoft's gaming platforms.
"The universal gaming controller will provide a Windows controller standard that helps game developers bring different genres -- such as racing, sports and action/adventure -- to the Windows platform more easily," said Chris Donahue, group manager of Windows Graphics and Gaming Technologies at Microsoft.

Cordless Dualphone is said to be the world’s first cordless 2-in-1 Skype™ Internet telephone that allows you to attach it to the normal wire and your skype USB.
For EUR 134,90 you can have one phone attached to both of your lines...
BOTH? well... not to forget my mobile and the fact that I am using a chello wire line, which is actually a VOIP solution itself (charging me multiple's of the SkypeOut charges of cause and not allowing international phone numbers ..)
Siemens also has a Skype only handset with the model M34.
Anyway... I enjoy phoning with my Sennheiser HD265 studio headset having my hands free... but I am sure there's a market for these combo devices.
