The black squares on the controller? (I thought that was the share/option buttons) Or am I missing something? Because the controller would be an awful place for cameras.

Did anyone notice the big computer in the picture? It has a front plate that looks like extruded aluminum?
The thing in which the controller is plugged in! The Elephant!
It definitely doesn't look like a standard Supermicro enclosure, I'm assuming it's the January devkit. Nobody seem to have confirmed it yet though.
I saw it, but I'm not remotely interested in the box. Patsu answered my question though so carry on.
I myself am interested in the box, so I'm going to talk about the box now. You've been warned.
If we suppose the 2 black rectangles are the two cameras, it means the distance is over 12 inches. (the norm is 3 inches for stereoscopy)
That is significant because it means the two cameras have been placed for a higher precision. The wider the distance, the more precise the Z resolution. There are also interesting drawbacks, if they want to do 3d video chat. It's an interesting choice.

I don't believe for a second those are cameras built into the case of a devkit.
Why, you don't want a 3D image of the USB cable?
IMO they are placed in the right spots.
Also they are flat which means that simply toughing them lightly won't be enough to send the input.
If they're flush like the PS button and Start and Select buttons on the Vita, accidental presses shouldn't be an issue.
It looks like it's using the Vita d-pad which is fantastic.
I doubt that's a huge issue - the PS3 controller apparently comes with a 570mAh battery, an 1800mAh replacement battery costs under $5 for a consumer.

Hey guys I suspect there is something else about this controller not clearly visible.
Look closer.
Now remember the patent filed by Sony about a controller that has parts which are detachable
Is it possible that the analog sticks may be held on a detachable plate in similar fashion to what was depicted in the patent images?

But they dont have to move the speaker. Only the "speaker vents" on the "plate". The speaker could be positioned under the "plate" and always reside on the controller

They need to show a 360 view of the controller. At first, I thought the small protrusion at the bottom may be a screw or button since modern headphone jack can/should be inconspicuous, but whatever. I am betting against detachable parts at the moment. ^_^
Edit:
Looks like a headphone jack from a different angle:
