Anyone tried a Velleman WFS210 oscilloscope?

So far, I've been using a PC based software oscope which uses a soundcard. I built  a simple interface for the probes and it has been a good learning device. I needed to repurpose that PC and have been looking at this Velleman device as a replacement scope not because of its technical features but the sheer convenience of being able to WLAN its output to PC, Mac iPad etc.

For the money, I could get a used, big box of a much higher spec but have no room for it and it would not be very portable. I've considered the little Chinese android(?) boxes you see on eBay but I'd prefer a bigger screen as that's what I've become used to. The communication protocol is apparently open source which is also an attraction to me. In other words, I'm looking at it because of what it does beyond being a scope and I can't help thinking that might be just dumb.

This is the device http://www.vellemanprojects.eu/products/view/?id=416586&lang=en&country=be

So, anyone used one, comments?

No experience with that, but as a similarly-priced alternative, I can recommend the Bitscope Micro that Farnell sells. No WLAN, but you can drive it with a Raspberry Pi, so could DIY this if really necessary.

Thanks Sam, that looks interesting. I knew this one wouldn't be easy....

Slightly more expensive but the software that goes with this is outstanding:

I have the bigger 4 channel version, I couldn't live without it because it is basically an electronics lab on a breadboard.

Both of the above use the same software. However, it looks like the first one only does +/- 5 VDC.
