    Hmm... More of a review of a gimmicky feature that was probably a side thought (albeit a very interesting one).

    Are these laptops going to be released in the US in July? Or in Japan first?

    Will they be released in UK July 2008?

    Also on Toshiba website it says G50 not G55, can someone verify?

    I would love to know the pricing for UK,

    This is a pretty cool looking machine. This thing is going to be massive. I'm interested in the capabilities of the Spurs engine. I'm going to be editing HD video in the near future and I'm interested in anything that will save time. We should be seeing these things in a couple of weeks.

    I was hoping more of a "minority report" type of gesturing!!! Now that would be ultra cool. I guess now, though it opens the market to this new technology.
    Oh well maybe in a couple of years we can all dazzle in a lecture theater Tom Cruise style!!! :D :D

    I just wish it was a little smaller so it would be a little bit more portable. Minority report hand gestures would have been amazing, I hope they at least get them running so that you can use hand motions to select items on the desktop.
