Is this the new PortaStudio?
Sox:
...Wow-ass cheap. I'm buying one. It'll take a month or two to afford, but I'm buying one.

Careful - it can "play back" 16 tracks, and presumably mix them down or maybe send them down the USB to the computer. But the only physical outputs on the back are stereo line and headphones (both with level controls), and I would guess they carry the same stereo signal.
All will become clear when they link the manual to the product page (which they do once the product is available).
Jimor:
The toy I recently picked up was the Tascam US-1641. 14 inputs that run via USB2.0 into a computer and can each be recorded to different tracks. It's dependent on separate software for controls, but it makes full-band multitrack recording a feasible and affordable option. ($350 US) Haven't had a chance to really put it through its paces, so I'm not sure what kind of CPU/BUSS horsepower is needed to drop that many tracks onto the HD at once. It shouldn't be a problem if you save signal processing effects for later.
Though I see more and more mixers are including the USB output option, so it's really starting to be a good time to experiment with this stuff.
fish across face:
Not strictly on topic, but I've used some of those Zoom Handy Recorder things on the same page - the H2 and H4 and they were a great budget combo of decent-enough mics and lots of options. I was using them for "field recordings" rather than music recording, but all I'm trying to say is it bodes well that the same company is doing something awesome. It's not like they have a reputation for rubbish in other areas.
Aegir:
Wow, this looks absolutely amazing.
