I just checked the US Patent Office website, and there are no patent applications for ANYTHING from Ageia. It's possible they've filed very recently, but I would think that if you had a hardware platform about to be released, you'd have had IP in the pipeline for a while. Sounds like they're just announcing their plans to try something. It's a cool idea, but lots of ideas sound cool before anybody tries to do the layout.
