Holy giant robot suits! (well, nearly)

So I was reading BBC news website today and I came across an article that was pretty cool:

US army develops robotic suits (excerts from article, it includes some video as well)

The lightweight aluminium exoskeleton, called XOS, senses [the users] every move and instantly moves with him; it is almost like a shadow or a second skin. It is designed for agility that can match a human's, but with strength and endurance that far outweigh our abilities.
With the exoskeleton on and fully powered up, [the user] can easily pull down weight of more than 90 kilos, more than he weighs.
For the army the XOS could mean quicker supply lines, or fewer injuries when soldiers need to lift heavy weights or move objects around repeatedly. Initial models would be used as workhorses, on the logistics side.
Later models, the army hopes, could go into combat, carrying heavier weapons, or even wounded colleagues.
There are still problems to solve, not least how to create a mobile power supply that can last an effective length of time.
But the US military expects to take delivery of these early prototypes next year, and hopefully deploy some refined versions within eight years.

Sounds pretty awesome to me, this is something that could have a lot of uses as the technology improves and presumably would come down in cost.
