At $190us it's priced more than some current full-size LCD monitors. It may sell on novelty value but for REAL value the price will have to come down.

I must say I actually think they're kinda pricey. Sure they're all neat and nice, and i'd love to have a couple of those under my 17" screens but for even lower that price I can get my hands on 19" widescreens.

If they're going through USB, do they eat a lot of the computer performance, Incase you get another 2 of them, The good news seems that you don't need to buy more graphic cards atleast

Can it be rotated and used in portrait orientation?

I just checked the specs and only 32bit OS versions are supported, and no Linux unfortuantely:

Fortunately I only run Linux using VirtualBox under Vista.
