Ok so right around when I get my tax return...that could be handy timing. 
$1500...do I want to get on board out of the gate or get a Quarq?

It's "Look Keo compatible" but it's not a Keo pedal. What does this mean? Can you swap pedal bodies with a Look Keo or does it simply mean you have to use Look's cleats to use it?

I refuse to purchase an accessory that costs more than the original cost of my bike.

I wonder if that thing sticking out of the crank has a tendency to hit stuff / pick up debris.
Other than that - want it!

No mention of speedplay and no mention of Garmin 705. I'm out.
HR is good enough anyway as is perceived effort

I guess that's cool since I already ride Keo 2 Max pedals, but they might as well just make and include their own cleats since it's not using a Look pedal body. It's just another "Look style" pedal as far as I'm concerned. They could have just as easily went with Shimano SPD-SL cleats since people say they tend to wear better. I don't know since I've never used Shimano cleats, but I'm just saying...

Vector will ALLEGEDLY be available in March 2012 and will have a suggested retail price of $1,499.99.
Complete, total utter effing VAPORWARE.
Good grief you are all so gullible.

I get this feeling that they are still a long ways off from releasing this, but didn't want the product to show up at three Interbikes in a row without some sort of tentative release date and pricing.
I forget off the top of my head, but wasn't the original Metrigear slated for Q1 of 2010 (showed at the 2009 Interbike).

The pedals and the head unit will be about $2K. That's not a 'steal' by any definition. Still a compelling potential power option.
But still, total, complete, absolute, screaming effing VAPORWARE. It gets so offing old with these companies. March 2012. We should all friggin live that long.
