Based on something that was only on paper. Now I've actually gotten to handle the object of hatred and find out how it works objectively. Which was, admittedly, what everyone predicted. But I think it's worth seeing concrete, solid evidence. Anyway, we shouldn't be hear talking about this -- we should be watching that awesome film strip again. ;-) Peter Universally reviled — sure.

The iPod is absolutely the device with something to prove, and as I observe, DJing with iPods just isn't much fun. DJing with vinyl might be trickier for amateurs, but even novices enjoy that challenge right away. Sorry that wasn’t clear.

Since when was it Vinyl's job to beat out the iPod? Maybe I'm confused as to what the current standard of DJ'ing media is right now, but I'm pretty sure it's not the iPod.

These gullible trust-fund kids will buy any white plastic piece of junk you set in front of them. I chuckled when I read, "with a little practice advanced users will be able to mix two tunes together beatmatching by ear". I don’t know anyone "advanced" enough to beat-match without pitch control.

There are free DJ apps for Mac and Windows that are more fun to DJ with. Hook up a piece of cross-fader hardware for about $100 and invite your friends over. ;) I observe both the complete lack of pitch control and poor cueing — among many, many other problems.
