Shimano's New Push-Button Derailleur

Shimano just took the world of cycling into the electronic age with a new computerized, electronic derailleur, called the Di2. It allows you to shift gears with a push of a button, "allowing you to shift 30% faster". I'm not sure if this would make much of a difference for me personally, but I'm sure there will be someone out there with a spare $10,000 to spend on the Merida Scultura 909 that it comes equipped on.

Hey Shimano, if you are reading this, we'd be happy to be your guinea pigs if you want to sponsor us!
