Interesting artical, but I think we have a long way to go befor this kind of thing is posible.

I saw this story on G**d M*rning America this morning. I think the technology is wicked cool (sorry about the wicked, I'm from Boston) but it will take longer to develop than they are projecting. It reminds me of "Ghost in the Shell"

"I'll pay 50 dollars for one!"

I'm willing to bet most of that is just the "Here are possibilities, Generals! Please fund us!"--kinds of talk. Bullet-resistance? Sure. Status reporting? Sure. Self sealing? Perhaps. Minor Chameleon-effects? Perhaps. Invisibility? No. Leaping 20 feet? Not this decade, unless they want to fracture ankles or bash their heads in on landing.
