Firstly, some rubbish about tilty stuff. Nonononono, idiots.
No.

Second, a date of August 24th - i.e. tomorrow, has been thrown about for big announcements, as apparently GBA and GC were announced on that date as well. I doubt it, though.

Thirdly, and much more interesting...ly ... the Rev might be using a new type of polygon called NURBs - which can create detail more easily, and more efficiently than normal polygons. So the Rev might not need to be as powerful as the others in order to compete graphically.

It's the only controller that can give you rabies!

Here's another design, since I'm bored.
Although I think this one could be a little messy...

I've seen a couple of other alleged prototypes on the net too:

Well thats what Computer Games Online are saying yeh, who seem pretty sure they're right. In the wonderful little article about it on C-E (penned by a rather handsome chap too) it goes on to mention IGN are sure we're going to hear something concrete soon, so who knows?

If they come up with something as genius as the N64 controller i'll be happy, well only if they have more than one game that uses it properly this time.

Well according to C-E, it's some sort of tilt-resistance thing, where the controller resists being tilted. So the Revolution is more of a rumble pack type thing, that won't actually change how you play the game at all. Still, could be cool.
