Not sure how many people are using PocketWizards here, but the the Plus III units (http://www.togtech.com/pocketwizard-plus-iii/) have just been announced and they really look great. I was never a big fan of the TT5 units. They seemed to have a lot of features that just made them complicated and not working very well. The Plus III's seem to run with the good 'ol Plus II style and simplicity while adding a bucket of features.
Here's a vid from Fstoppers which seems to be the best overview so far

I just noticed B&H is taking pre-orders at $139. The Plus II's are still selling at $169....it had me scratching my head but the Strobist confirms selling price is $30 less for full retail. That's a good thing!
-
yep, the new ones are $30 cheaper than the old wizards. nice.

These do look pretty great. I had bought and since broken a cable to fire a camera remotely for my PWii's that was very handy. Now I can focus with them too? Very cool.
I have to say, I enjoyed watching the lighting setups in action from these guys as much as I learned about the new toys available.
Great video, thanks for sharing it!

speaking of cables - I've been buying mine on ebay (third party cables). much much cheaper and they seem to work decent.
