The Thunderbolt I/O interface is the darling of Apple and Intel. Introduced on the MacBook Pro line in late February, the port is still largely collecting dust.

The peripherals just haven't materialized as quickly as many had expected, and unless you want to drop $1000 on an Apple Cinema Display, even getting something as simple as a hub is an exercise in futility.

But! There is hope, trapped behind glass at this week's Intel Developer's Forum. While we were unable to set these enticing new Thunderbolt devices free to roam the world and bring 10Gbps of full duplex bandwidth per channel to the nerd masses, we did capture them on camera so you can dream of a day when you can actually order one of them.
