Yamaha Pocketrak recorder - anyone used one yet?

Just saw this

Looks pretty darn cool.

Battery charges off built in USB connector - awesome.
Also makes it dead easy to transfer file to PC.

Built in speaker

Tiny size.

I have a Zoom H4 and these are all things that I wish the H4 had.

Granted the H4 has other features this Yamaha unit doesn't (xlr and 1/4" connectors, 4 track recording and some other stuff, but this looks like it would be something I'd trade up from the H4 for if the mic quality is as good or better than the H4....

Anyone used one or heard any recordings yet?

Search of "pocketrak" on ebay doesn't show any being sold by online stores yet though...

this blog post implies that not even the yamaha folks have used one yet - their display at the namm show was a cardboard cutout
