I didn't see them mention IEEE1588. I don't know how many switches(if any.. hehe well, I know one..) implement it yet..and I only know of the one National Semi phy that does, but it's a solution and not really expensive just poorly implemented as of yet.

It looks all flashy and might indeed be very good..we'll soon know.

Personally, I'm more looking forward to the other 'Avatar'. The one they had to call simply "The Last Airbender" due to copyright, trade name collision, whatever. I know the story there is good and compelling. Hopefully Shamyalan does the live action version justice.

Technically, it's an FDM machine. Fused Deposition Molding.
I believe you just dump an IGES file to it....then maybe sometime next year, you'll get your part.
If you saw how cheap looking and feeling the resultant product is and (as I've already implied) how utterly painfully slow it is then you'd understand why it is cheep.
We've had it for like 3 years and it was the cheep model then.
These things have been around for quite a while.
