Pretty cool feature, for those who can afford the software.

Tempting. I usually skip a generation which means my CS3 is due for an update.

I watched a video of Content Aware Fill yesterday (can't tell if it's the same as the one you linked, YouTube is blocked here) and I must say, it's was beyond impressive how it was able to recreate things that weren't there, like removing things in the foreground and it automatically fills in the background. On second though, it's like some creepy black magic, it's as if it somehow KNOWS what was there

At the end of the video they took a panorama photo with blank space around it (if you've ever stitched a panorama you'll know what I'm referring to), and the software was able to put together something to fill in that blank space, that (from the YouTube video) looked like it was really part of the photo! I had to double check CS5's release date to make sure it wasn't coming out on April 1st

A friend of mine linked me to a whitepaper documenting how it works but I couldn't make heads or tails of it... pdf link

If there's a trial version when it gets released, I'm downloading it. I really would like to see it for myself.

Wow this will save loads of time, if this feature is included in CS5 then I am definitely upgrading.
