On one hand, it does look pretty cool. Lets be honest. Shame it wont work.

Looks an awful lot like this thing, but with a wooden case:

Are they related perhaps?

Looks like someone's got an iPad and rammed it in a huge wooden box, for no particular reason. This product is going nowhere.

Now if they'd managed to come up with a hybrid featuring knobs, faders and the Traktor screen grabbing element - they'd have something I'd actually like to use. Slamming touch screen rotary EQs around? No thanks.

Ya know $3k+ for that thing ain't bad. Considering for a decent set of decks and a mixer will run you that or more.

[dafe]

you get a lot more fun for your money with a set of decks and a mixer though

[tekki]

Who'd want to have such a thing without any tactile control at all?

This, basically.
