Maybe I'm a bit too late, but here is my review and walkthrough of the infamous Emulator-software.
This is the blog-entry corresponding to the video:
English: http://en.www.ali.dj/emulator-test-and-walkthrough/
German: http://www.ali.dj/emulator-test-and-walkthrough/
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S-xXfnLR-YY
Please don't mind me acting weird in the beginning. I didn't have the chance to shoot it again.
i´m just joking ;)
but hedgehog did a review about it on his blog:

Merged :rolleyes:
oh i´m sorry! but thx chris for merging!
Shoot me. Now. Please. Somebody!
Can mods start deleting these posts about this "future of DJing" nonsense for a while? Seem to be at least one every other day popping up!
we (t Squared) have been watching emulator with interest, but are hoping it will be made available for OSX soon!
This. Sorry OP.Quote:

this is no silly bad quality video of a guy throwing some tiesto tracks on a big screen! this is a review! and it has it´s right to exist!
This is different, it's not the same video that's been posted a million times. Very few people have actually reviewed this thing so that's why it's still here.
people are just being ignorant and jumping the gun without bothering to see what the thread is actually about.Quote:

btw has anyone ever done a google image search for the word 'ignorant'? You get some great results :D
naked girls outside would've been more interestingQuote:

Thanks for pointing this out.
My conclusion remains that this isn't the future of DJing.
The purpose of the video was to show that touch-interfaces are more than just ordinary user-interfaces with bigger buttons. At least they can be if there's thought put into what can be achieved with this new technology.
To all the haters: Watch the video!
@josh: That's similar to what I experienced on that sunny day.
Edit: Mr. Smithson contacted me himself and made some comments. I won't do another review but I'll add some annotations and add information to both blog-posts.
