PMA?

I just heard that Roland recently released what they call a "Personal
Music Assistant". It is, essentially, a music-oriented PDA (Personal
Digital Assistant, like the Newton). Apparently it lets you do some pretty
typical (ooo, that might be a problem right there!) compositional tasks
with a pen-based interface, and play the results over MIDI, presumably
General MIDI. I hear it sells for a few hundred US$.

Anybody know if this beastie has any microtonal capability, or any other
info or thoughts on it? I suppose microtonal capability would be too much
to ask.
