Anybody else got/getting one? I preordered one several months ago and promptly forgot about it. It arrived on my doorstep this morning. I got no shipping email or tracking number or anything. Also, it looks like they haven't (yet?) charged my credit card either. Either way, it says to set it up you need to visit leapmotion.com/setup, but that site is just a placeholder until the 22nd. I kinda wish I hadn't gotten it early if I can't use it for 3 more days. Then again, I suppose all the engadget-type articles would have reminded me to check on my order status.

it seems neat, but I don't have anything I'd really use it on

Most of the "reviews" I've read on it are either "OMG this is the greatest thing ever, it will change humanity as we know it" or "meh". Doesn't really seem to be much of an in between.

I really just want to use it to play 'Cut the Rope' in 3D space.

just reminded me, I need to order one




did you get a confirmation email when you ordered yours?

[Edited on July 19, 2013 at 6:41 PM. Reason : actually.... did I order one before?]

According to gmail, I got a confirmation when I ordered (Feb 10), a generic "Thanks for being a pre-orderer" email(Mar 5), an email telling me about the launch delay(April 25), another "thanks for being a part of this" email(May 10) and a "please confirm your address and payment info(June 27) which I never bothered to click on because my address and credit card info hadn't changed. I'm wondering if me not getting a shipping email and me not getting charged are related in some way.

[Edited on July 19, 2013 at 7:33 PM. Reason : And then literally just now I got a shipping confirmation email. Still no bank charges though. ]

Kinda disappointed at the lack of precision, to be honest. It's neat but, as a technology, it still needs work. I can't see this replacing the mouse anytime soon.

is this the thing that had the article about it in popular science this past issue?

Looks like you can do a lot of neat-useless stuff with it so far. Haven't seen any productivity in it. Still cool though.
