Wow... so many nay sayers... I call it the Dvorak effect. That guy basically states that any new idea or startup is going to fail. Then, when it does he says "I told you so" as loud as possible. He's bound to be right every now and then.

Remember, that video is at least a year old showing a prototype. Also, first gen of most new devices are a bit more expensive... see iPhone... remember is launched at $600 at it sold 1 million units or something before they dropped the price to $400... then it sold millions more, not the new version is better, more features and it will be $200.
