32 bit in a handheld size is my guess.  If it is the size of an M10/R05 and can do four channels, they'll likely do land office business around here.

i like the sound of that. hopefully its a good for for our needs

I wonder if hardware manufacturer Zoom has caught a wave in sales from the videoconferencing company that shares their name?

something that viral has gotta bring some free advertising

voltronic:
The teaser photo strongly suggests 6 mic inputs, or at least input flexibility.  Maybe a replacement for the H6?  If it is dual-ADC with 32-bit float, it seems like that would cut severely into F6 sales, which is already a crazy-small unit for 6 channels.  Some of the commenters are suggesting "H8" also.

I thought the photo was just a stylized arrangement until I saw the release latch on the top-right.  I can't imagine why they would angle the inputs like that.

A two-channel pocket-size F-series (F2?) would interest me much more.
