Does anyone have a Focusrite iTrack Pocket?

I am interested in using it as a live recording device to record band sessions at a studio? I used my iphone last time and also recorded using my laptop and one mic. The iphone has problems with the dynamics of a live band and I had to blend the recording together to get the best sound.
I would like to just use the iphone and add a microphone with sound input control. Not wanting to spend more than $100.

Any experience or recommendations.

Bump for some new eyes

I bought one. It came today. Initial impressions: The mics are definitely better than the iPhone's builtin mics.

It works well as a guitar interface and will use both the input and the microphone at the same time. The builtin camera will use it as a microphone which is what I expected but glad to see it works. It works well with Amplitube on the iPhone.

Next month we are having another Reunion Jam session and I hope to test it out with the input level so that I am not dealing with the auto limiting of the builtin microphone of the iPhone. Will post more after that. But overall for $79 it is a good guitar interface that uses a digital input rather than the mic input like the iRig1 and 2 use. Cheaper than many other digital interfaces and only $30 more than the irig versions. Includes a builtin stand to rest the phone on for recording.

Overall first impressions are positive.
