Hey techies
good news on the horizon: Apple have announced support for CoreMIDI in iOS 4.2. It's available in the iOS 4.2 beta SDK. There are few links on the web for the topic, but here are two examples:

That means that the iPhone/iPad developers can start building applications controllable via MIDI! Just imagine the possibilities!
Additionally the net has a lot of success reports for using the iPad with external USB audio interfaces and other USB hardware (keyboards, etc). All it needs is a powered USB hub and a Jailbroken iOS.
The iPad/new iPod Touch/iPhone 4 all have very powerful CPUs. I believe that we will soon witness the creation of multiple DJ & Music Production apps for the last generation of Apple's mobile devices.
Cheers!
