ELMScan OBD II Scan Tool? Anyone used it before?

Just like the title sayd has anyone used the ELMScan OBD II Scan Tool before? Is it worth the money?
The only reason I am thinking about getting one is because I want to be able to read my codes without having to visit Autozone everytime.
Ifound it is cheaper than the regular OBD II scanners but you always need you Laptop in the car.....

some of the things you want in a obd2 scanner, is data log if possible, live data, and be able to display multiple parameters at once.
