A rather interesting review of
Minecraft by Zero Punctuation aka Yahtzee, a British-born, currently Australian-based writer and gamer with a sweet hat and a chip on his shoulder (apparently).

"Created by a bunch of guys from Barcelona, this iPad app currently only supports Serato Scratch Live (although they are promising to support Traktor in a future release) and works over a private wireless connection which means no additional software or cables are needed.

Now in it's fifth year, Sikosis, N3B and Melonfarmer are back, bringing you the Top 20 Drum n Bass tracks from 2010. This year, we've got all the tunes available for streaming via Mixcloud.
Pioneer have taken their CDJ line and used that interface look 'n feel and created a midi controller for
Traktor users. Check out this video by Spanish Techno legend Cristian Varela.
I have to say it's a very nice looking controller and they do something interesting by placing the laptop underneath the control, which gets it out of the way in a club scenario -- but then you've now lost the ability to search with the keyboard or use any of the keyboard shortcuts you have. Pioneer seem to believe that you can do everything with their controller.
In saying that, the DDJ-T1 looks like it's the first controller to give the Traktor S4 a run for it's money -- despite being $300-400 more.
