It's friggin amazing if they can get this thing to work on a commercial level.
I don't expect new competition coming from some California garage soon. It will be 10 years before college students learn how it was done.

RE Micromechanical Mirrors:

Go back a few years in Scientific American and you'll find a nice article about them. Texas Inst. invented them years ago, and tried to commercialize them for projection TV's. Didn't work out. Too hard to manufacture. Of course, Lucent's will be slightly different, and their purpose requires far fewer mirrors than pixels on a TV.
