I'm not really sure why everyone is getting all up in arms about the wifi? You create an ad hoc network and hook to it. Its not like freaking starbucks wi-fi. How many people have we seen play out with Ipads already using Touch-ocs over an ad-hoc network on huge massive gigs? The technology is there and its proven to be fairly stable. Lemur does the same thing, over wi-fi, sending signals to control music. I mean a ton of major artist use that and trust wi-fi ad hoc networks.

Doesn't matter. All someone would have to do is break the WEP or WPA2 encryption and then you can start torturing the device remotely since it will have a IP address. Heck you could even play games with station de-auth.

I thought it was hilarious when Mark from DJWorx mentioned someone will actually end up making tiesto play Scatman - it could be done if someone wants to put in the time (and granted Tiesto used this unit).

You don't even need to load your USB stick, you can play directly from your mobile device and view waveforms, load tracks etc from the bigger screen.

NO LAPTOP REQUIRED at the gig people. That's a gamechanger. Load up the USB stick and go.

wait what ? no one sees the real potencial of this? its a sandalone unit. You are a touring DJ that DJ's on CDJ's DJM's already using recordbox. You put this little unit in your travling bag. siting waiting in a hotel room fire it up put in the USB thump you use at gigs play around.

but people who want to be a dj and have no idea what they are buying won't realize it's a trap.

I believe this is the way of the future TBH and what better way to beta test the functions than in a non-mission-critical setting of a bedroom or studio.

My gut feeling is the next CDJ update will NOT include cd players and this kind of interface is gonna pave the way.

Sure it may look a small bit Toyish (so do CDJ350's and 400's), but consider for a moment - its a completely standalone device at almost the same price as some of the other pricier midi-only controllers out there (vestax/numark).

It Features (from my understanding) a real mixer, sound card, wifi streaming, media player and the most cost effective rekordbox setup you are gonna get in an extremely compact party size package and thats just touching on the good points!.

Only thing I really dislike is the displays though which look like they got pulled from the Gemini's rejects line.

In saying that even if I were touring and needed something reckordbox compatible to fuck around with in my hotel room I'd snap one up.

Dont forget you don't have to use the wi-fi function and my gut says this is some kinda bridge they are working on to make DJ swap overs seamless - no cables to start plugging in or out, just find wifi, hit button and sync your next track with ipad/phone or whatever.

If the Machinery could handle a full track in a buffer (of higher end units), the reliability issue of wifi would be zero anyhow.
