Interestingly enough, FastCoDesign also had an article about a bunch of these guys. One person in particular, Ivan Poupyrev who is cited at the bottom of the above Teslatouch article, is slated to move to Motorola (furthermore Google).

Should be fascinating what Google/Motorola will do with this relatively unknown hire of a HCI/UX guru.
