What do you think of the Apogee Mini-Me?

What do you have to report after using it in the
field over these last couple of months? How is
the audio fidelity and have there been any
limitations in its use? Would you buy it again?
It sounds spectacular. However, as a component of a field recording
system, it is trumped by the Sound Devices 744T, for the following
reasons:
Sure, at the $4K price point it should sound excellent.

1. It does not have an internal power source; hence one has to coble
together one, ie., an exernal lithium pack.
Is it possible to power it from a video camera?
But if a suitable laptop or PDA is already available, the MiniMe can
provide excellent results at 1/3 the cost of a 744T.
If shooting with a video camera how do you synchronize
video and audio during editing?
