The Samson Zoom Q3: Superior Audio, but VGA Video?

"Anyone who's ever experienced a film with great audio knows how vital sound is to the movie. The Q3 Handy Video Recorder brings our renowned audio technology to the camcorder, making it the best sounding video camcorder you've ever heard."
I'm a bit confused by this product. I certainly see the need for improved sound quality on flash camcorders. I really like my Flip camera, but it doesn't have great sound pickup. Putting a pro-level microphone seems like a way to make a super compact professional tool, but in this case, they limited the video quality to 640x480, which I think will limit the usefulness of this product in the professional realm.
