Few things:

- Kinect has been out on PCs for years. I find it odd that no one has mentioned that.

- It's not really fair to compare a simple 3D motion detector to a Kinect, as cool as it is to achieve this with a simple webcam, the current PC Kinect is a very cool piece of hardware for artsy stuff, modeling and sientific proyects, as you can see here http://www.kinecthacks.com/ , actually would think that site is more deserving of publicity or maybe i am just a fanboy of it.

Finally, have to concur with some posters. As cool as this sounds, it also gives me the impression of being a pain in the butt to use. Maybe I am missing something.

So is this software or is this hardware? If it's software that works with our existing webcams, why are they postponing release to "increase production of the device"? Am I the only one that this doesn't make sense to?

I are confused

Bwah-ha-ha. The idea of overpriced junk like Microsoft's Kinect being made obsolete by existing technology repurposed just made my day. I hope Steve Ballmer is drinking coffee when he reads this
