Great news, but they didn't say anything about selling transistors to the public. When do you think we can expect to buy those like we do with mosfets?

You can already buy GaN FETs (although not the exact type being researched by MIT, as mentioned in the article):

You could have a pile of GaN FETs on your desk tomorrow morning, if you really wanted: http://www.digikey.com/product-search/en?pv606=18&FV=fff4001...
