Yet another portable audio recording option announced. Some details in the engadget link. 7 hrs battery life sounds good!

This looks like an excellent field recording device. Does anyone know if any windscreens/softies/deadcats available for this? If not, would something like that be difficult to make by hand?

It's made my short list for a portable recorder, but because it doesn't seem to have a plug in option so you have to rely on the battery I'd like a little real world confirmation about how long the battery lasts. I'll be recording conference lectures so I really need for it to be able to run all day.
