Has anyone been able to try out the new wireless Nikon P1?

I've had it for a few days now and I'm still playing with it. I've had some excelent pictures and some not so good ones (which could be my fault). I'm still playing before I give my final opinion. The wifi works good I just setup an adhoc group on my laptop and have had no issues yet. If you have any questions I can try to answer them for you.
how easy is it to setup and use the wifi i.e. can you get it to download different photos into different folders as you need? or does it download into a predefined folder each time?
I had no issues at all with setting wifi up. It took me less then 5 minutes to get it running. There are many options for transferring. You can do fast transfer that just connects and transfers everything into a predefined folder of your choice, same with direct transfer (as you take a shot it transfers directly to your computer). You can mark pictures and bring only those ones over in to the folder of your choice or let it make one for you. You pretty much have full control of whatever you want to do.
Wifi does work (after a few hickups). We use a wireless access point connected to a pc wia fibre optic cable. Only one problem: We bought a couple of these cameras and want to connect at least three to a PC. No joy. The software (Picture Project 1.6.0) only supports one camera at a time and blocks all the others. You have to use the software to get the pics onto your PC. That is a real bummer and not what I expected at all. They say "freedom - no strings attached". So much for that one... I e-mailed nikon support - let's see what they can come up with.

I am a computer expert but I cannot get the wireless featue going. I looked at the Nikon Tech support website. Did not help.
I have picture perfect installed and the camera does download via the USB cable. It gets hung-up during camera detection when setting up the wireless software?? This camera is for my wife so I don't have to mess with it.
USB cable here I come!!
I have the same problem. I have a D-Link wireless router for my ADSL. I also can transfer files via the USB cable, but the Wireless Setup Utility will not detect my camera...
I'm waiting for Nikon support to respond...
I have a netgear wireless access point. I used the "infrastructure" mode and not the ad-hoc mode. Don't forget to enter the access point's 64 bit security key in to the Nikon's wireless setup wizard. You may also have firewall issues: when camera wanted to upload images first time, the software firewall on my PC popped a dialogue asking if some exe (nikon*.exe) should be allowed to access network which I permitted. After that it worked as expected. Problems: If WinXP was not logged in to, or if logged in as some non-admin user, P1 could not upload via wireless. PictureProject software is piece of crap. I can see the thumbnails but when I click on them I get a message "loading" but the picture never appears, therefore can't use it to edit anything.
Having problems setting the wireless option up as need to plug in the usb cable to create a profile on the camera. however when I plug this in it states that it has found a nikon P1 but will not do anything else from there, the software Nikon provide will not detectit at even just to a do a usb transfer.
All usb ports on the computer are working with other devices.
windows updates has also been tried, any ideas anyone ?
