iPod DJ Mixer
"Numark's iPod DJ Mixer I posted about in April has moved quickly from prototype to product. Officially announced today, the iDJ is slated to ship Q3 for a suggested retail price of $399. Unfortunately, the apparent lack of pitch control pretty much kills its chances of replacing CDJ or vinyl decks. Gear Junkies has the details." [Boing Boing]

what the hell use is it without a pitch control?

When this unit gets a pitch control AND instant cue/start point, then the Mobile CD DJ wil become history, just like the Mobile Vinyl DJ has become history. The sad thing is that now, more than ever, ANYONE can be a DJ.
In the end...anyone can be a DJ. But, not everyone will know how to program a successful party. THIS is what makes the quintessential DJ.

You can control the pitch on the ipod if you use a tape adapter and have a speed controlled cassette player....

Can someone please explain to me how to...control the pitch on the ipod if you use a tape adapter and have a speed controlled cassette player....

check it you are obviously a confused little boy.
If anyone hears of a software hack that enables the ipod to actually change the pitch of playback please inform me.
Oh and there is still a huge market for the vinyl DJ. all the best DJ's are multi-format.

Why wait for Ipods to get pitch control? Just use a laptop.
