Just stumbled across these while browsing OpticsPlanet. Anyone have any experience with one? It looks like there is a ton of potential here.

It seems that this early version is not quite market ready though: Most of the reviews state that it is bulky, cumbersome, the night vision is marginal and the software is buggy... but ATN is pushing out several software updates a month, and the whole thing is evolving pretty rapidly. If this is the future of weapon optics, then I'm pretty excited - The functionality that they seem to pack into this thing is pretty amazing, even if some of it seems kind of silly or useless (like having wifi.. Who would use that?) Seems to me like this is a result of processor miniaturization that we can all appreciate.
It's something I'll be keeping a hopeful eye on for a while.
