Got it for $20 USD at Compgeeks. Pretty good for $20. Connects via USB and uses an IR tower to track the glove's position in realspace. It has a mouse emulation mode, so you can use it with any app that uses a mouse, i.e., your WM. Finger bending acts as mouse clicking. Works quite well with the drivers found at: http://essentialreality.com
Requires a little bit of setup, along with a few workarounds (all in the README file, but no workarounds needed if you use kernel 2.6). The only problem is that the drivers do not yet include finger calibration, so finger bending for mouse clicking can get tough sometimes. The company is struggling, but the community is so strong it's keeping it alive :D. Apps such as Hitman 2, Black and White, and even a molecular moddler called YASARA (fun to play with :D) use it.
