iTampon

touchosc will be possible! (basically everything from the appstore)

it is multitouch.. i guess ten finger but there is not much information about this..

and no, no ableton lol : D

I don't see a reason in the world why this can't be a Lemur. There'll be controller apps for this all over the place. Oh, baby.

Why is the bezel so friggin huge, my god I can decorate the boarder of that thing with macaroni shells.

with this and TouchOSC that's already available, it is a Lemur... with wifi, bluetooth 2.1, with a smaller size, less weight, and more functionality. The only hope for lemur now is to release there software for the iPad honestly, unless Jazzmutant comes up with something greater. Love them to death, but Lemur's have some serious competition with this thing, and the price hasn't even been announced yet.

I remember when I firsted posted about this about 2 years ago...everyone on the site was either like, cool or wtf?!

I have to save i'm not that impressed with the device. To me it just seems like a bigger iPhone, which can't fit in my pocket. I don't like the idea of walking around with this and accidently dropping it with that big screen. It just hasn't done anything that iPhone can't do. I'd say the only jaw dropper that they have left to bank on is the price.

"The iPad is a half-inch thick, weighs 1.5 pounds, and has a 9.7-inch LCD screen. It's run by a custom-made 1GHz CPU, and comes with 16, 32, or 64GB of flash storage. For connectivity, it has 802.11n, WiFi, and Bluetooth 2.1. Jobs claimed it will get up to 10 hours of battery life."

Doesnt sound like enough horsepower to me to be able to run Ableton effectively

damn.. i can only imagine mad acclometer use for a filter..

isn't touchosc basically the same as the lemur software?
