No, really what is the point? I'm sick of waiting. If a mic is so boring and simple, why don't they just do it. I'm really, really, really tired of waiting, to the point where I might do something desperate, like buy a friggin tape recorder.
....although, if it is a mic, what sort of quality would it offer. The demand seems to be in some circles for a dictaphone capability. Is that the limit of the quality for live recording, or have I missed the whole point?
I liked the jet pack idea. Functional is good.

A lot of these ideas are absolutely absurd. Though, I wouldn't mind having some of the things dreamt up.
And, for the record, I, as a club DJ that plays on vinyl, would like to distance myself from anyone able to "DJ" on an iPod. Playing music at wedding or a Barmitzvah? Great. Mixing and manipulating? Not so great--an iPod is simply too small to perform on. Not that a guy doing a high school dance wouldn't be perfect with a pair of 10gigs, though.

What I think most people meant by a DJ iPod was like an external device that had turntables that hooked up to the iPod or something like that.
Theres a product that does exactly that but for laptops/computers. its called Final Scratch and it's made by Stanton I think. In fact, MacAddict gave it the highest rating possible.

Something like that for an iPod would be awesome. Just plug your RCA cables into a breakout box that plugs into the iPod, then plug the mixer into the breakout box too. Then all you have to do is select the track on the iPod and mix exactly like you normally do, scratching, mixing, everything.
Of course we would need an iPod with a G3 processor and 256MB of RAM..............but thats not the point
