I saw their web page writeup. Dont believe it is shipping yet.

Beyond that, not much info. The web page was VERY weak on details. Looks
like a cheaper version of the Monroy system (around $800+). I was amused by
all the "patent pending" stuff - I cant imagine what would be left in such a
simple system that could be patented.

At the price, I am tempted to by one just to take it apart and fiddle with it.
