  I am also a pre-orderer but I believe that the MYO guys have a very interesting take on gestures and gesture control. There is still a long way for the product to become mainstream and the fact that the new Kinect has a camera that can do everything the MYO does without an armband on your hand will definitely make the competition very interesting.

  MYO is one of those products that, if executed right, can be the harbinger of a new age of computing. Neuro is still at least a few years away, voice is dorky, vision is flaky.

  Now if only they had come up with a cooler name than MYO!

  Wish I could have been in on this :) This is the perfect interface for wearables like Google Glass.

  Really excited to see where they take this product. Congrats to the Thalmic team!

  Congratulations!

  There's a race on now — who will ship pre-orders first, Myo or Leap Motion?
