Sounds and looks cool.

Unfortunatly Engadget says it's $1,200.

...and sweetwater wants $1299 (and that's after a $99 "savings")

Foo. At that price you may as well get a $500 mic, a $100 preamp, and an MP3 player with line in.

..but as they say, no wires, no fuss.

Is the $800-1000 worth being able to push and button and start recording?

To some folks, the answer is probably yes.
