Xbox 360 Launches Chrome Controller Accessories

- Alert) has announced it will be releasing a new set of wireless controllers that will be available in red, white/silver, and blue for around $55 per controller. Although there is no console to match, Xbox 360 will allow users to pick up these special edition controllers beginning in mid-May.

Each of the brand-new controllers will have a feature Microsoft is calling the “transforming” D-pad along with the rest of your typical controller features. Rory Young, writer for Neoseeker, said he thinks these new controllers set are a nice addition to the Xbox 360.

“To be fair, these are some very nice looking controllers…It’s great having a variety of options that fit your style and personality when it comes to controllers and accessories, though the best often end up in special editions,” said Young.

Although it has been reported that the colors will be red, white, and blue, Nelson did report that the colors might vary from the official photos that have been released. According to the report, the colors might change slightly from region to region. However, Xbox 360 officials said that no matter where you live you would have the ability to purchase the controller. Depending on the availability, users might have to resort to third-party retailers such as Amazon or Best Buy (News - Alert) to see if you are able to preorder the color you want ahead of time to prevent it from being sold out.

Mike Norris, writer for Gadgetsteria, said that initially he wasn’t excited about the new controllers until the images were released.

“What’s one more thing your Xbox 360 could use? Bigger hard drive: nope. Face new faceplate: try again. How about new Chrome’d out controller? While it doesn’t seem all that exciting, after seeing pictures of the new “Special Edition Chrome Series” Xbox 360 controllers Microsoft is set to release this summer, we are actually pretty intrigued,” said Norris. “The chrome/bling look is arguably not for everyone…but try as we might, we can’t help but continue to stare at that shiny red controller. It’s just so pretty.”

Microsoft said it expects the preorders to become available over the next few weeks, while retail stores are expected to start selling the controllers beginning mid-May.

Smartphones, Media Tablets Stimulate Tripling of Touch Controller ICs

- Alert) iPhones and iPads, the use of touch screen displays in smartphones and media tablets is booming. As a result, the market for touch controller ICs have  almost tripled in size in less than five years.

A recent study completed by information and analytics provider IHS (News - Alert) iSuppli shows that shipments of touch controller ICs are set to reach 2.4 billion units in 2015, up from 865 million in 2010. The study predicts that this year alone, shipments will surge 28 percent to 1.7 billion units, with strong double-digit growth projected for the next two years before the rate of expansion slows slightly in 2015.

In a statement, said Randy Lawson, principal analyst for display and consumer electronics at HIS, “The expansion in touch controller IC shipments is due to the growing number of devices that employ touch technology.”  

He added, “Apple almost single-handedly ignited the market for touch in 2007 when it introduced the iPhone (News - Alert), which featured a multi-touch screen based on a projected capacitive touch technology. Since the appearance of the iPhone, many other smartphone manufacturers have jumped on the bandwagon by deploying sophisticated touch sensors for their products.”

IHS said that touch technology has branched out from being used mainly in mobile handsets to a wide array of consumer electronic items, expanding the aggregate universe of touch applications. Consequently, touch sensors now can be found in tablets, e-readers, all-in one PCs, portable media players, portable navigation devices, flat-panel TVs and monitors, handheld video game players, automotive applications, digital still cameras and digital picture frames.

Together, according to IHS, the number of devices and appliances using some form of touch controller IC is predicted to hit 1.06 billion units this year, nearly double from 514.9 million units only two years ago.

The study also suggests that capacitive touch screens like those first featured by Apple in its products made up 54 percent of the touch market in 2011. And it will remain as the dominant implementation for the space in the years to come, ahead of other touch-sensor technologies like infrared, optical, resistive and surface acoustic wave.

Last year, according to IHS, key suppliers of the touch controller ICs were Atmel Corp., Cypress Semiconductor Corp. and Synaptics (News
