Yamaha AW 16G?

[Ernie Mansfield <ernie@mansfieldmusic.com>]

Has anyone checked out the Yamaha AW 16G digital recorder? It claims - in
addtion to being a 16+ recorder - to have looping "on the fly" 
capabilities,
and also store samples, which are use-create-able, and triggered from
buttons on the front panel. Also, it claims to have effects, and digital
mixing capability. The looping "on the fly" calims to have 180 seconds of
looping, which can then be assigned to a recording channel. However, I do
not know how much variation is offered in the looping part - whether there
are any levels of undo, etc. There is also MIDI control, and a footswitch.
It looks as if this were designed mainly for recording, but with a few 
other
interesting features.

However, I have not yet seen a review of this. Anybody know any more about
it?
