The [Only registered users can see links. ] laboratories rolled out [Only registered users can see links. ]: the PS3 Wireless Thumbpad. And at US 30, it's quite a bargain too. Thirty bucks get you the following features:

• Functional multi-key [Only registered users can see links. ] interface
• Enhances in-game messaging capabilities
• Convenient clip-on design
• Fully compatible with PS3's web browsing functions
• Plug and play technology
• All PS3 controller buttons still accessible
• Removable clamp increases versatility

From the looks of things, the mini-keyboard itself must be clipped on top of [Only registered users can see links. ]. We're not sure though if it can be clipped onto any other part of the SIXAXIS... but hey, text input in semi-inconvenient place is far better than no text input at all.
