Anybody using this P2 card reader?

I was wondering about the internet and came upon this reader, looks good and the info on their page sounds like it would be a good alternative to Panasonic's readers,
I don't know much about it though, I've never heard of the company producing it.

My question to those who might be using it is, Do you like it, is it reliable, does it work with the e-series cards and Macs?

Thanks

Lots of discussion about it here:http://www.dvinfo.net/forum/panason...corders/110768-affordable-p2-card-reader.html
And here:http://www.dvinfo.net/forum/panasonic-p2hd-dvcpro-hd-camcorders/467602-sonnet-qio-card-reader.html

Dont think anyone has seen one yet as the system driver goalposts keep moving!

According to Sonnet's website the Qio is not supposed to start shipping until mid January. But of course they said it would ship in August, September, October, etc.
