sorry for my rudeness, your answer is what I wanted to hear :)
It sure is interesting to show limits of the system.

Well, for some of us, “all glitch” means “clear out a good number of the party peoples.” ;)

I’m curious what you mean by “all-glitch.” No beat mixing?

@Orphe: Look, it’s a new device, and there’s a lot of change this summer. Hence, more coverage now, not simply because it’s new, but because there’s new *information* coming out at the moment, as I expected. I think the pace will likely slow down a bit.

If you actually read the article, you’ll see that equally important is some of the limitations we’re finding, namely:

* iPhone/iPod Touch appear to be incapable of running their own DJ app (and, hence, likely other audio apps)

* Latency is a concern with wireless control

Usually, the toy/tool divide occurs in little platform details like this. And covering the details of platforms and the technical stuff behind the products is very much what this site is about.

For the record, my mobile is a Blackberry, which should tell you something about my relative fanboy-ness. ;)

Is this site now dedicated to iPhone fanboys or do you plan to talk about others musical things ?
For me, it’s more a toy than a practical music device.
“iPhone this, iPhone that”… Is apple giving money for each article about its new iphone ? :)
