It doesn't transmit MIDI but lets you create an interface of buttons and mouse pads on the Pocket PC which a server application on your host PC interprets. You can specify what keystrokes the Pocket PC client sends to the host so it would be quite straightforward to create something that works with an application such as Live that can accept key commands. I have successfully tested this with a Wireless link to Live (you can also use Active Sync via a cable or bluetooth). You can also use it with other applications such as Powerpoint and Media Player and it has built-in templates to do that but designing your own is very easy. Its worth a try as you can download a fully-working 15 day trial and the full app is only $16. There is a Pocket PC application called PPC Tablet which could be useful.
