okay, so this thing is pretty cool. but im still kind of unsure a little bit. Seems like it could just totally fail for 500 bones. not to mention you already have had to spend quid on an ipad2.
for me, its more about price that makes me weary. I think its awesome idea, awesome that we have something like this out there....innovative actually. But thats alot of quid to drop on something like this - unless i guess it is your main gear, or you actually need the portability, but practically minded, the other controllers make more sense - laptops are portable, the mpc studio looks portable, so why drop the money on this?
some questions I have:
1.sampling your library is cool, but you still have to sync it to the ipad, seems like an extra step, plus you are dealing with mp3 quality. Don't know what to think about that?
2.what happens when the next ipad comes out? compatible? left behind? "oh, guess what, we no longer support that ipad because the new features won't work on the old one, and now we sell the new controller because apple decided to put out a new ipad, so you ipad2 users need to go buy the new ipad - suckers"
So I like iphones, ipads, mobile devices, innovation, etc. but the developer in me says its wierd tying yourself to a propietary device like the ipad2.
"hey guys, im going to make the best software/controller ever, but you can only use it on this one specific device"
okay, so maybe im just being too negative about it.....I do like it, and if i owned an ipad2, i would get it, but i'd rather drop my quid on the other controllers because in the long run just seems to be a better purchase......
guess im still on the fence...I think an iphone/ipod controller would have made more sense, but dunno, maybe im just biased because i have one
