i've seen it, and also read a hardware test....functionality is ok, but of
course it all stands or falls with the connected software..furthermore it
doesn't look to "strong" to me, to plasticky........also the design doesn't
appeal to me, to say the least..
i think solutions like FS or even better: ms.pinky, are the way to go..
maybe Pioneer should start implementing a firewire/USB2 connector on their
CDJ-players, and/or apple should release a DJ-ipod ;)
