I like idea of wireless, but it's less important than having a nice solid controller. Looks cool – but doesn’t look pro to me.

It seems to be a pacemaker, but with more manual controls, meaning it's price point should probably be in between the pacemaker and a cheap CD or memory based player. It really does all come down to the price though. I also don't understand who it's for. Due to it's size and weight, it should be for mobile DJs, but it really doesn't seem to offer the right tools for anything but extremely basic DJing. Maybe when they release more information my opinion will change, or maybe Wacom should stick to what they're good at, tablets. I’m not sure what to think about this currently.
