Is there any technical documentation available yet for PT5.1?
Features, hardware compatibility, etc., All I can find is the product announcement page which is very general.

Jim,
The new 5.1 Compatibility Documents and several of the new PDFs will be up on the website this week. We're still in the process of reviewing over 100 pages in the Compato Docs, but we're very close to final approval. We just want to make sure they are accurate and as informative as possible from the user perspective, so several different departments are reviewing them internally.

The details of the Surround Bundle are still being worked out. We'll have a dealer announcement, then post more on the website.
