		<description>And just to be clear, I meant the touch screen as only mean of interaction. My world for a Dpad, button and shoulders on that thing... humm. wait.

PSP ? it's also a locked sandbox :)</description>

		<description>This video demonstrates my biggest problem with the iPhone as a music device: the UI. Each vid I've seen so far shows users missing the buttons, and the last thing you want when doing stuff is to have to be thinking about the precision of your gestures...</description>

		<description>Well, I gave in and purchased this while on the toilet this morning :P  

I don't generally have problems pressing buttons on the iPhone, but these definitely are a bit hard to press.  Things could be laid out significantly better to enable easier button pressing.  That being said, it has more adjustments to the sounds than I thought it would and it does what it's supposed to do.

I bought it as a toy, not a real production tool, and that seems to be what I'm going to get out of it.  Just something quick to get ideas flowing.</description>

		<description>Ian, unfortunately you are wrong, Flash does not use the Beatnik Audio Engine. 

Almost happened but the idiot Beatnik CEO screwed up the deal.

Really a shame because Flash's audio engine has always been crap.</description>

		<description>Lovely looking? Really think so? 

It may work well but I can't agree that it is lovely looking? 
Or was that sarcastic? ;)</description>

		<description>Looks pretty shit.  Calling it a 909 clone is a bit of a stretch.

Still haven't seen anything to compete with Griff on Pocket Pc.</description>

		<description>I'm not convinced "catching up" is the problem. For instance, some of the features above are implementation, so those could improve. But there are other cases in which my sense is that limitations of the iPhone/iPod Touch as a platform may restrict further development -- just as, admittedly, there are trade-offs on any device.

The problem is, shortcomings (or strengths, for that matter) of the Apple SDK are covered under NDA. So no one can talk about them, even to other developers. That means I know about some limitations which technically I can't pass along, and likewise there can't be any frank discussion about what the device can and can't do. That raises questions for me about what future development may look like. I guess it depends on how deep your trust in Apple goes. But generally, part of what has improved development -- including on the Mac -- is frank and open discussion about the platforms.

That said, before I blow things out of proportion, at least Apple *has* an SDK that's reasonably available and quite good. By contrast, we've seen terrific homebrew apps for DS and PSP even without an official developer program. The difference there is that that scene isn't trying to make money ... </description>

		<description>You may get a richer experience right now on another device, but I wonder how long it will take for iPhone development to catch up. Seems like it is doing very well as a new platform. (As for cost, an iPod Touch is not nearly as expensive as an iPhone contract.)</description>
