999$ and no dedicated control over fx section... Seriously?

Yeah like I said if you lug your decks to your gigs it could be useful.
But then what's the point of having that gear?
Come off it - carrying a laptop extra is hardly a big deal.
These all-in-one controllers do sell lots, but you only have to read a few pages on here to see who is buying them.
5ghz isn't used that frequently yet for consumer level products, at least not in the states. it's getting there though.
i don't see much fluorescent lighting in the bars and smaller clubs i go to (which is where someone is more likely to use this). i would be more worried about wifi cameras as that would be pretty common in that type of environment and there would probably be quite a few of them spread across the property for security reasons (one of which would likely be right on the dj booth). they don't have to be that close to cause interference as signals can reach pretty far. even at 20+ feet away strong devices like that could cause issues. you may not get complete packet loss when it's at a further distance, but when you are dealing with streaming audio, losing 10-20% would be killing your set. hell, i've seen access points spit a wifi signal hundreds of feet outside from in a building.
when this type of interference occurs the distance to the ap is irrelevant since it killing your wifi signal at the source. trust me, i have to deal with this stuff somewhat frequently and you will definitely lose connection even if your device is right next to the ap.

my friend is about to open a small lounge on a small island. He wants to have guest DJ's playing here and there. He doesn't have $5K to spend on a Pioneer booth install. This is the perfect solution. You love CDJ's ? Bring your USB Rekordbox stick. DONE.
If you are too good to DJ on the AERO then go fuck yourself.
The AERO is better than NO CDJ's at all.

With one USB port it must have a proper buffer right? How else would you switch seamlessly to another DJ and/or USB stick ?

From reading pioneers site it specifially mentions player to player, kinda making a kind of definition that they are quite independent from each other.
This is the biggest plus point IMHO, Proper Waveforms/Cues etc.. on a nice big tablet display along with playlist management and no laptop in sight.I don't see whay anyone would want to do that - the only advantage I can see is having your playlists on an iPad compared to scrolling through lists on the device via USB.
I've been looking for that opportunity to ditch the laptop .. carrying it is no big deal, however I'd prefer to bring along a Tablet and not need to connect ANYTHING and just start spinning.Come off it - carrying a laptop extra is hardly a big deal.

When I go out I really don't want to start babysitting my $1200 laptop with all my other work on it before or after I play. Especially if my $200 tablet will do the same job - at least with vinyl there wasn't much chance it would be pinched from the booth.
Just for the record I've never had wireless dropoffs that I know of in a pretty packed DJ box I worked in for a long time before and that was for streaming video over wifi along with multiple PC's in the booth, alot of DMX cabling, LED lighting around the DJ box, multiple dimmer racks and 2 x 2.4ghz video sender units sending to a switch matrix in a control room..... We were using 801.11g btw at that time
You're only going to be streaming at a pretty slow speed anyhow at under 10 megs per min even for the highest quality mp3's if both decks are in use continually.
The AP Appx 10 meters away (2004/5) - Once channels for wifi were checked for overlaps beforehand, and there was multiple AP's being used in the building.
Remember this is only their Prosumer incarnation of the technology and I already see it being a game changer - perhaps they will implement 5ghz in pro models which I have no doubt will enter the arena soon enough.
im trying to figure out how to save for one of these for xmas. all new toys have been cancelled. i need this. dont have a laptop anymore. this is perfect. recordbox on my desktop for managing. if i need to play out, i bring the aero.
i fucking need this
new laptop + controller would cost me more. plus, i dont have to consider any apple products =p
my nokia will have to go though. htc here i come!
