I bought one in about six months ago and I'm quite happy with it. I've riden it on several trips of 10 to 20 miles, and it is quite comfortable for that distance, although like any other 16 inch bike it is slower than a full sized one. The crank it comes with is kind of small, and replacing it with one from a road bike (52 teeth) is recommended.
As far as I know, it is the only 16 inch bike on the market with a 6 speed derailleur, which I think is much better than the 3 speed hubs that come on Dahons and Bromptons. (It comes with a derailleur guard, which is a necessity considering how close the derailleur is to the ground.)

I had done a good bit of research before getting my Dahon, and thought I had heard of most folders. This is a new one on me. Don't know if I'd ever buy one, but it
is an interesting method of folding (collapsing, really).
Anyone own one? Ride one? See one in-person?
