ARM is actually building this chip with Handshake Solutions, a Philips incubator. The work stems from Philips Research as early as in 1986 (yes that's 20 years from research to product), and has matured very much over the years. We used to have courses at our university explaining the basics behind these asynchronous designs. All in all I'm excited to see this technology finally in a product, and hope it will make my pda last yet a little bit longer.

Previous PlayStation launches have always been staggered Japan first, U.S. second, and so far there's no indication that this one will be different. >>>> It has already been confirmed to be a worldwide launch in November 2006, so that changes your reasoning quite a bit (don't underestimate holiday season!)
I am actually wondering whether ghosting is still going to be an issue in the future. Already, I own a nice Samsung LE32R51B 32 inch LCD which has an 8 ms response time (!!) and no ghosting can be seen in any game whatsoever - this is commonly agreed on by owners of these tv's. I guess for bigger screen sizes it is still a problem, but nothing that can't be fixed I guess.
