The use of cold compressed air for drying hands has been a staple of California rest stops for many years. But the dryers are very simple trapezoid shapes with a pushbutton on the front and small grille on the bottom. They do not offer the "dual side" and narrow slit opening approach the Airblade does. One problem is compressed air drivers are by nature very noisy. If Dyson has some acoustic absorption grillework within the airblade drying chamber, that would go a long way towards quieting the operation. A comment on Youtube, though, suggested this style of airdrier has been around for a while in Japan and China! The piezo water vaporizer Dyson has in his model, though, could be unique.
