I spotted it when I was idly flicking through this months Total Digital 
Photography in the newsagents.  The reviewer seemed surprised by it's abilities 
and said he had to keep repeating the mantra "it's only a fladbed scanner, it's 
only a flatbed scanner...."

Unfortunately, they don't seem to have a copy of the review on their website 
(www.totaldp.com).  It certainly sounds like a cracking scanner but, like you, 
I would be surprised if it really can take on the dedicated scanners.  Surely 
someone on the list must have tried it!
