Reading the article, I thought it was more of a proof of concept, some technology for companies to license from the creators rather than a finished commercial product.
Of course I could be wrong, and to me l don't really see the competition with the iControl pad, although I do wonder how the sticks would feel used in a form factor like the iCp.

Pretty sure this is just a prototype.
The bit that interested me was when the controller was somehow used with a 3ds instead of the built in circle pad :
Seems like it might be worth exploring if these controllers could be used instead of the nubs for a future version of the Pandora / ICP. From a personal viewpoint the Pandora / ICP nubs are good but the 3DS circle pad is, understandably given Nintendos R&D budget, in another league.

Nothing good will ever come of Exophase.
This joystick is digital. I hope no one entertains replacing analog nubs with them.
We're not talking either "end product" or "licensable" here, it'll probably just be sold as a component for companies to integrate into something bigger, like most of the other stuff that goes into electronics. Like other existing small form factor input devices, including some joysticks.
