Sorry to go off on a tangent...

You too can have a chance to spin with iPods - at the iParty, on Tuesdays at APT (near Filter 14)
They provide the music. You can bring your own iPod but they check your stuff first- I don't know what they check for, though.
You get 7 minutes, and you often have to wait a while, but it's fun.
Not having pitch control does suck, but give some time for that to change.

hahha both of you guys beat me to it...
plasticman to the rescue...its fun to see mindless non-sense bashing...really makes the person stand out
point being, apple is DEFINITELY paying him to do this, and he is definitely leading the edges of music. im not justifying spinning mp3s as a career, i'm merely stating that he is getting paid as a model/representatitve of apple. It's like starring in a Gap Commericial, or better yet OLD NAVY~!
lets put it into perspective before we rant and rave about the pro's and con's. apple trying to reach out to the edm community...obvious~! but i must comment since im anti-apple that their OS sucks. they build a really unstable system, but compensate by making it a really fast booting OS.

From Tricia Romano's article:

"I prefer to kick it with the regular people. You know, it keeps me humble and down-to-earth. Richie Hawtin had a teeny tiny bash at the teeny tiny Filter 14 on Friday. The formerly bald and bespectacled one spun with Magda after "DJ'ing" with iPods at the Apple store. (It's not possible to DJ with an iPod, although Mr. Hawtin told me that the Apple folks are working on an iPod with pitch control.) Hawtin—who just got rid of his Williamsburg digs so he could move to Berlin to work on his next album—had 700 partygoers eagerly awaiting entrance to the 150-person capacity club. Eventually 450 made it past the doors throughout the night, which went till 6 a.m."
