Forget the iPod – this is the portable music player that DJs really need

Summary
So, what kind of DJing experience does the Pacemaker deliver? A great one, we'd say – it puts lots of features in a sexy, portable package. It does have some flaws, though, and it's easy to make errors due to the lack of visual feedback, especially when moving between channels.
This is a decent product for people who've never tried DJing before and the perfect designer accessory for the initiated. Once the software side is fully up to scratch – the editor that installs on your computer still needs some work – the Pacemaker really will be a force to be reckoned with.
This device isn't here to replace CDJ or laptop DJing – it's simply the iPod that DJs have always wanted. Why would you want a music device that you can't mix on when you can own this? With Pacemaker in your pocket, everywhere's a party.
An incredibly cool and useful gadget. If you like to DJ, you'll almost certainly want one.
