I finally got around to getting one of these today and have spent the last couple of hours dicking around with it and I'm happy to report that my first impressions of it are very good indeed.
I've only tried in Google Earth and Sketchup so far, but already the intuitive physical interaction dynamic is making me completely rethink how I use 3D programs. I've been using sketchup more and more for wee ideas anyway as I find it a lot easier to put basic forms together quickly, but with the Space Navigator it's like I'm actually able to hold the object in my hand and turn it around. It's almost eerie. I almost regret not going the full hog and buying one of the more professional few-hundred pound jobbies, but this'll do for the meantime.
So yeah, if you do 3d and you don't currently use one of these kind of devices, I'd say 'give it a whirl'.
