Bah...that's a marketing gimmick. It's not really the fourth dimension unless it can be manipulated back and forth across its axis.

Moving more forward along its dimension is not true 4D. Moving back along the 4th axis would also include regression, or a return to a previous state.

The devices will only wear out with time, not renew.

Just wait until String Theory 11-D printers come along...you can then build quarks from the bottom up (or down).
