I just returned from Japan today after attending the Shizuoka Hobby show this past weekend. The ESC will only operate with sensored motors. The sensor harness, fan plug, switch lead and lead going to your Rx all come from under the battery & motor terminal post.
No final release date for the ESC but scheduled for later this summer.

I knew that didnt make any sense that this was sensorless.

So now that we know it's sensored, what unique features does this have to warrant a $300 plus pricetag?

luntach- I believe that we will leave the motors to the motor manufactures.

Thanks for the answer KO Staff. One other question for you though, and its about your "industrial design". Is KO purposely going for a retro look or what? That new EX-1 UR looks more suited to 1988 than 2008.

Butter- 
Getting ready to leave for the Reedy Race. If you go, I'm sure I know where you'll be. SF? 
jla8874- KO brought back the EX-1 design due to demand. FYI the design has been around longer then 1988.

Are you going to be here everyday answering questions KO Staff? If you are, maybe we need to start just a KO thread in general for all KO related questions. Im an Airtronics person myself, but if I come to find that KO is another customer friendly company, you might just win me over. I have been thinking seriously about trying out the Esprit sticks loaded up with some of that KO 2.4 action when it gets here.

stuey- WOW you haven't even seen the esc perform and you are already calling judgement. Maybe it's not for you then.
Rob- I'll be there

I thought that was funny too. I'll reserve judgment until its out, but something tells me if they're pricing it 1 1/2 times higher than anything else on the market then KO is supremely confident that its going to perform.
