It will be interesting to see what Logitech and other companies do in the future. I will do the wait and see approach on this one.

I wouldn't buy a black/white one but the color one would cost upwards of $2000 imho (if a black/white version is $1200). My guess though, like Ryan said, is that Logitech (or some other company) might make a similar version for much cheaper, so I would wait around for that.

I give them credit for openly blogging about the whole design process but it wouldn't have been that hard to setup a blog on their own site.
