Not much time has passed since Sony PS Move was officially launched in stores of U.S. Usually we don't get to see people tearing apart gadgets to understand what they have but people at iFixIt have already teared apart Sony PS Move right after its launch and they have found that Sony PS Move is nothing more complex than your cellphone.

The Wii and PlayStation use different methods of locating their controllers. The Wii Remote has an infrared (IR) sensor built into the controller, and uses triangulation from the IR emitters on the sensor bar placed near the TV to locate itself. PlayStation Move, unlike the Wii, can locate the motion controller in 3D space. The PlayStation Eye camera visually recognizes the X/Y position as well as the relative size of the glowing sphere on the motion controller to pinpoint the controller's location.

Some of the components found in today's smartphones that have also become part of the Sony PS Move are the accelerometer, bluetooth�transmitter, gyroscope, vibrating motor and also a MEMS compass. I suppose we should appreciate the way Sony has come up with something as innovative as the Sony PlayStation Move without using any complex technology but in some respects we expected abit more.
