New mic out...What do you think about "The Ball"?

[Speedy VonTrapp]

Anybody else see this yet?

It's a new microphone by Blue. It's a phantom powered dynamic, and it's just a ball. (go figure.)

I'm wondering if anybody has used it, or a mic like it, and how good it might be. It says that it's good for stage, studio, film, broadcast, or any use at all. Obviously hype, but I'm curious to know what the mic gurus around here think about it.

i have some huge rants about it below somewhere.

for an update: i called GC and they are calling me when they get another in to see if i have a turkey of a ball. otherwise the mic is off to ebay.
