Yes, that's been out for a while now. It's good that it fixes the 9.999M restriction of the AN8008 
Compared to the AN8008, it adds temperature (and the probe appears to be a bit better than the usual bare thermocouple), and a NCV detection feature (which is not something that excites me greatly on a multimeter). The square wave output is gone, but that's no loss IMHO.
So if you have neither, the AN8009 is now the one to go for. But if you already have the AN8008, that's a harder decision.
The AN8009 has the same current ranges, so if the gaps in the current ranges bother you, then look elsewhere...
Which leads me onto the BSIDE ZT301. This is a slightly larger meter, but obviously from the same people. I haven't got around to writing up my findings properly yet, but I did an initial review here: http://www.eevblog.com/forum/beginners/o...msg1344853
This one is 8000-count. There is the ZT302, which is 9999-count, but on balance, I think the ZT301 is the best one...
I've got about half a dozen more meters to add to the reviews section, including some pocket types. Just need to finish the time machine
