does not look too bad... but I guess this is a high-end app....

Yes, it certainly is a very high-end app. In the interview the creators made several referals to the Renderman platform. If you look at their website it is only for linux and Mac OS X as of now and you seem to have to build the user interface yourself from the open source code. But I really like their seemingly professional approach.

For someone who is interested in this,

According to their site, they will launch it soon.

By doing this, you will be on our "preferred list" to receive a free, 30-day trial version of Naiad before our official launch to the general public (planned sometime during the fall of 2010).
You can see the demo video.

Price

The actual pricing is not released yet but as a rough guide, "a single-user on an annual usage basis will be in the thousands of Euros, not tens of thousands and also not in the hundreds," explained Nordenstam. Exotic Matter is also exploring having a simple constant licensing model on an annual fee. Since the market for Naiad is much like the model of Renderman. It could be expanded and integrated with its API but it could also be used by a specialist, such as a more single-user TD.

I specifically meant this kind of techdemo, like using Hybrido, with displacement map and foam. Question is, will it be as fast as those 3 minutes per frame they claim it needed in naiad ;)

I'll stick with RF5, especially as Naiad is Linux/OSX based...
