OK, I just came across this (apparently hall effect) 360 degree rotary encoder some might find useful or at least interesting. It is USD$36 for qty 1 (ouch), but the ballbearing version is rated at 15,000 RPM. It gives 10 bit analogue or PWM output, and up to 12 bit PWM if you get that model. It gives absolute position, but I am thinking you could probably figure direction and speed to some degree.

Lots of uses stirring in the back of my mind...

Cheers,
