Alright mixmasters, turns out that Numark dueling iPod DJ mixer we peeped back in April is indeed not vaporware. Numark will be announcing tomorrow the iDJ mixing console for iPod as part of their summer 2005 product lineup — a two-channel mixer that accepts all iPod models with bottom connectors and breaks out their controls into its dedicated interface. Both channels sport a 3-band EQ and gain control, and the unit’s got dedicated mic and phono/line inputs for bringing in additional signals. It’s also rocking some USB connectivity, enabling it to converse with your portable rig as a music-loading base. What we don’t yet know is the price, but y’know, if you’ve already shelled out for two iPods it’s probably not gonna break the bank either way.
Update: we’re looking at $399.00 retail/$249.00 street on this thing. Not bad, not bad at all.

hopefully you only plan on doing a four hour set. Because that's how long your ipod's battery is going to last.

Say, how can one beatmatch without pitch/tempo controllers? Quite difficult, I think. That means you'll need the "pro" version anyway.
In my opinion, one should stick to CDJ's and/or vinyl. Maybe add Abelton Live and/or Traktor. Like always it's a matter of taste.
(..not one word about the Abelton hype! you hear me??)

Agreed. And this isnt based on my bias towards ipods, any HD mp3 player setup like this would be friggin lame.

The way i see it is, today everyone is saying "ZOMG! LAME SHIT!" but how can you judge something by not even trying it or anything? Today, people say its lame. Tommorow when a big shot DJ will start to use it, those people are gonna say, OMG IM SAVING UP FOR THAT! Im not saying I like it, and i'm not saying I dislike it. I haven't seen or heard it being used so i'm not gonna foreshadow.
