I think that extension cable required for operation might hinder combat use somewhat.

thats truly impressive Viking.

And they said that suit would cost about $20,000 once its comercial in a few years.

Thats the price of a mid-range car... wow. Not expensive at all considering the incredible applications for it.

I was thinking more along the lines of Hienlen's Mobile Infantry suits, from "Starship Troops" (the book, not that piece of cr^p movie). An adequate power source remains the main issue as far as battlefield use goes. Still, it could prove very useful in innumerable ways, even if it must be linked by hard-line to a fixed power source.
