Well my question is about who is using them and if there is really any problem using them now...i will not wait if i can use them now and have no problem using them now..the price of IPv4 is just too much now 2.50 euro/ip at the datacenter i am going with..and i need like 20..so i am thinking of going ipv6 if i can
I work for a datacenter/local ISP. We about 4 weeks to start to roll IPv6 to the core and 8-12 weeks to roll to clients. We will be running dual stack. I just ran a check last night we still have half of our /19 IPv4.
I've used IPv6 through HE tunnels, and played around some, but there just aren't enough websites and services IPv6 enabled.
I did just get accepted into the Comcast IPv6 trial, should be interesting.
There is very little IPv6 movement and adoption in the VoIP world from what I can tell, especially on the carrier and provider side.

I know this isn't exactly what you were asking, but my company is using IPv6 internally for as many elements of our network as possible. We have a network with 10s of thousands of "devices" scattered all over the country, each of which has multiple IP interfaces (not PCs or Tablets, but machines). We can't use NAT internally as they all need to be directly addressable. They are not "internet accessible", but with the allocation inefficiencies of rational subletting we actually exhausted an entire "private" class-A (10.x.x.x).
Using IPv6 saved our butt - though it took a lot of arm twisting to get all of our key equipment vendors onto the bandwagon. At this point we are 90% IPv6 for these network elements.
For general Internet usage, IPv4 (nat'd) will be here for a very, very long time. Much longer than the "two years" stated above.

I think two years may also be a bit short but I do think that there will be a time in the not too distant future where you can go IPv6 on a website. That day sure ask heck isn't today. IPv4 still needs to be there for any major website which is the OP's original question.
Your setup does sound really interesting though. The internally accessible IPv6 is going to be awesome for all of the sensor guys. Also it'd be nice if we got IPv6 cameras and all. Still not really turnkey though.
