The YouTube demonstration video suffers from bad sound and a really dopey commentary, but skip to about half way in and the thing starts to get really interesting. I especially like the way they have solved the problem of "less screen real-estate" in the mixing window.

considering how poor guy has to try at least three times to pull a fader, i guess i better stick to the KORG DS-10.
(i wont even ask if it's possible to export to .wav or .mid)

Considering how the iPhone costs the same as several such serious music tools.. well, you know..

Maybe an iPod Touch, but not an iPhone.

Iphone is pure <3.

an eee pc costs less and has it all (incl real controls). except the phonecalling of course but hey, just use a phone for that.

yeah but eee pc is made by boring efficient chinese childlaborers, so it doesn't really lend you any credibility in the latte macchiato sipping community

90.99 cash credits plus even more for an Iphone?
nah. not suitable for serious productions, but well, it might be a cool toy for rich kids?

oh, offcourse it would be fun to have a phone which could run this, offcourse. no doubt about that.

that ds-10 looks cool by the way

Quote from the page you failed to read:

"iSmashPhone has posted more screenshots and a YouTube video demoing the $19.99 application:"

Apparently I'm a spoiled rich kid then, because I do have an iPhone, and when the 2.0 jailbreak is ready I'm getting this software. Oh, but don't worry, I won't report back how it is. I'll be sure to tell my latte macchiato sipping friends about it though, so I remain credible.

..and no, of course it isn't for "serious production", jeez. It's for fun! :)

I'd rather get a plain cellphone that does nothing but CALLING that in case it's get stolen you lost nothing.

For 'protable applications' I'd rather use either the eeePC or the Nokia N810, both has a strong linux based support, which means tons of available software.

iPhone is nothing but hype and really really good marketing (and a lot of fanboyism).

I love the iPhone too.
It looks like a overrated, over-hyped, overpriced product, but as soon as I tested it, I fell in love.
Terrific interface, efficient & smart features.

No doubt that 3G will be mine as soon as 2.0 jailbreak is out, and I can find a way to get the $200 model without signing anything for AT&T.

i coded on jailbroken iphones before the first official apple sdk was out
however, i never tried to use it as a phone

for instance in france, if you don't subscribe to orange, what can you do with an iphone beside sending sms, making normal phone calls and using it as an ipod ?

i mean, if i don't pay the provider for the data features and 3G and such, it's pretty much useless to get an iphone, better get an ipod touch isn't it ?

Ooh, this looks fun. I need a 2.0 unlocking tool before I can upgrade though. No mention of how you get files in and out of it though, I'm interested to see how that'll work.

The SDK looks really good too, and the phone is powerful enough for some decent demo action. If apple allow demos on the app store it could be a good demo platform :) I hear the new version of cydia includes a full set of unix tools plus a compiler too. Not sure I'd want to code anything big on a screen that small mind!

Lira: it depends on how you use your phone and stuff. I keep my diary and stuff electronic and with me these days, before that meant having a basic phone and a palm, which is worse than having just a smartphone as you've got two things to lose or get stolen. Lugging an eee or a nokia 810 around all the time sounds pretty senseless.

I think you're pretty wrong on the hype and marketing btw, although that's definitely got to be part of it. Since having a look at mine, 2 other guys in the office have bought one, neither are into apple stuff at all or give a shit about the marketing, one changed from an n95, the other a blackberry. The phone seems to sell itself when people use it a bit.

Apple whore

guardian: if it's unlocked, surely you can use it just the same? You'd need to pay for a data plan with whatever company you go with, but that's always the case. You just lose the visual voicemail stuff I think (mine's unlocked and on another carrier, but I'm not using data... my current plan means my phone bill is usually around €1/month, so i'm a bit reluctant to change ;)

buy a HTC Diamond instead, alot cooler and has Windows :)

psonice, i doubt that the goal of marketing is that people give a shit about it :)

zplex btw do you spend an hour every day scrolling over the pouet bbs and waiting for someone to say something positive about something made by a COMPANY (omfg eveel) to then post "<name of company> whore"? care to elaborate?

skrebbel: well, they're not the kind of people who buy stuff based on marketing then :)

Zplex is clearly one of those people who live and die by certain brands, as he's so against one of them. Bet he drinks mockaccinos in starbucks ;)

iPhone is so fucking gross :/

psonice: and we all know what that brand is :D

psonice, actually my guess was that he's a german communist (no kidding - in germany there are still many communists! i was amazed too when i found out!)

I'm trying to imagine what kind of mobile phone the communists would have, but I'm struggling here... linux on it, yes, ok. But not made by a big capitalist company, that's the tough one. Tin cans + string for a landline and a megaphone for mobile use? :)

I think it's power would be proportional to the number of people who use it.
