I have a couple of questions for everybody. First, how long until 
other companies begin making HMD's along the lines
of Virtual IO's I-glasses? I can't wait 'till they
hit about 300-400 bucks with a little better resolution.
I'll be the first kid on the block to have them. 
It also makes sense to me that building a 3D environment
*in* a 3D environment would be a lot easier. (as opposed 
to working on a 2D monitor currently)

Second, how long till we see some respectable apps and
3D environment editors on the net/market so the public
can join in on the fun? It seems that the min. hardware
requirements are slowly being met so the time seems to
be right for some basic 3D software to start coming out.
