@CardinalStorm: That's the beauty of treadmills. VR is still cumbersome and tethered, but the Omni lets you move around without moving. Who needs a chaperone then? 😉
The way the Omni works, is that the sloped base works to simulate a natural walking surface, so that the feet can move the same as while walking outside. Other treadmills like the Cyberith are more like sliding over a flat surface, but on the other hand it requires no special shoes.
@Kernow: Iirc VO has no patent on the Concave platform, so you know... (hint hint nudge nudge)

That's what we are all waiting to find out. 🙂
I might just find myself buying another treadmill down the line. 🙂

@Kalec84: As the Omni functions like a controller (moving forward = pressing W on the keyboard or if you have a game for analogue input, running faster = pushing the stick higher = faster in the game) you don't need to worry about games not supporting the Omni.
Luckily we live in a time and age, where Hardware Developers also have Software people in their companies and thus there are games which are planned to be launched especially designed for the Omni (see http://www.virtuix.com/gallery/)
God I come off sounding like a fanboy now... I am not, but I just wanted to clear the misconceptions.

You could practice your running skills on a Wii Fit board : That's what I did (once).
