I fail to see what this has to do with CMOS, instead of just being a issue with the design of the sensor.
A quick googling shows diverse implementations of CMOS sensors with global shutters.
Here's a presentation where you can see the issues:

Canon T1i seems brilliant
With the EOS Rebel T1i, analog to digital signal conversion is executed by a 14-bit processor, which generates digital data with incredibly smooth tones. A feature that originally appeared in top-of-the-line pro digital SLR cameras, the 14-bit conversion gives incredibly smooth transitions from light to dark colors with far less risk of "banding." A sky at sunset is a perfect example. With this rich 14-bit gradation, the EOS Rebel T1i offers RAW images of the highest quality that can be processed with Canons Digital Photo Professional software. Even JPEG files, which are always finished at 8-bits per channel, use the full 14-bit conversion initially to generate the best possible color and tonal detail.

Well, all depends on the following: the T1 is in the Rebel X-series, except that it has a video feature. The 40D is within another series of cameras. It's larger, heavier, has an alloy body, and you have control of the camera and all its settings at your fingertips.
Darn, can't we just let the video function in a dSLR stay as a add-on w/ auto function rather then wanting a full manual control, this is just a feature for dSLR people and the last I check, dSLR is for taking photos not recording videos. 
Also, can't we get the manufacturers to put a stop focusing at dSLR w/ video function? I'm more interested to see advancement in AF system and sensor technology, hoping to see better high ISO performance.

Nikon and Canon are making a lot of money from entry-level cameras, and it seems that a lot of the consumers are hungry for bell and whistles such as video. We can see that on cell phones, too
I don't need options for movie clips and such from a camera I use to take still photos, since I can record long and high quality movies with a camcorder that is capable of stereo sound. As my kids have grown up and moved out, I don't have any use for video. In fact I still have a HI8 Nikon camcorder that I used to film my family and friends. I do have to transfer the videos to DVD one of these days
Other than that, those who want video options on their cameras, and enjoy motorcycles, would probably enjoy this video taken with a Canon 5D II. This is a wild ride:

I already knew about this and i really want one. I dont have a DSLR but i think this would be a perfect start because of the immense range of canon accessories. The price for the body, a Canon 18-55 mm IS Lens and a Canon 55-250mm IS lens in australia is $1729 which is unfortunately a bit expensive. And with the video feature, i think it would be extremely useful for those rare times when something must be documented with video. The fact it is 20fps at 1080p is annoying but it is 30fps at 720p which is still a great resolution. Also being 15.1 MP means it is separate in image size to the compact camera class. Also the 55-250mm lens would easily be turned into a 500mm equivalent with a canon 2x teleconverter which would be good because conon telephoto lenses are a bit pricey.
Honestly though if i can get enough money of some relatives then im sure as hell buying this.

I'm not quite sure if the kit lens/55-250 will resolve adequately to cover the resolution-hungry sensor, but that's the price you pay with such high resolution.
Also, I wouldn't count on that teleconverter plan, since I'm fairly sure it won't work with EF-S lenses...
Yeh im not sure about the teleconverter really as ive heard mixed reviews. And what do you mean about the lens??
It's not really the matter of mixed reviews, it's just functionality.
As for the lenses, it's basically this: because the sensor has such high-resolution, it needs detail to fill in all of those pixels. If the lenses it's paired with can't adequately capture enough detail to satisfy what the sensor wants, the image will be less-than-optimal.
Even if he has teleconverter, the 55-250 wont work cause its aperture will be slower then f/5.6. Furthermore of course the 500mm range sounds amazing, but the image quality degradation by a zoom lens will be terrible. There is a reason why telephoto lens are expensive and why people invested on it.
