Mavic EZ Ride magnetic pedals - walkable clipless alternative?

What do you folks think?

Apparently, a strong little magnet holds your foot onto the pedal.

Upsides: the pedals would probably work fine with normal shoes. The proprietary Mavic Wanderer shoes are probably fairly comfy and don't have to have huge thick soles, and there's no cleat to click-click-click when you're walking.

Did a quick search here and didn't get any info. Anybody try these? BTW, Nashbar sells em.

Please don't post pics of your combo SPD/platform pedals, I'm sure we all know those exist...
