Second, I know a lot of people would love to hate on this thing without knowing thing one about the way the DJ industry works, but Gemini is known for putting out affordable versions of other products, and thats what this is.

Given the lack of functionality in Numark's iDJ, what's the point in duplicating the controls on the actual unit? It's not about learning from the old product, it was useless to begin with, now its about capturing the portion of the market that buys the iDJ to by offering a similar product at $100 less. The thing sells in Urban Outfitters..TRUST me, there's a market.

And Ryan, for the record, you're about 6 months late on reporting on this, and if you knew anything about pricing...they list the MSRP on the press release, but the product almost always sells for MAP price, unless the retailer is a moron.]]>Aug 2nd 2006 11:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/02/gemini-launches-itrax/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/02/gemini-launches-itrax/
It may be significantly cheaper until you factor in a couple hundred for the second iPod.

IDJ2 $600 + $250 = $850
ITRAX $150 + $500 = $650

So there is only a $200 price difference, and you get significantly better features on the IDJ2.]]>Aug 2nd 2006 11:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/02/gemini-launches-itrax/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/02/gemini-launches-itrax/
you can't mix properly on that thing]]>Aug 2nd 2006 12:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/02/gemini-launches-itrax/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/02/gemini-launches-itrax/Aug 2nd 2006 12:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/02/gemini-launches-itrax/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/02/gemini-launches-itrax/Aug 2nd 2006 12:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/02/gemini-launches-itrax/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/02/gemini-launches-itrax/
A single iPod can't crossfade between tracks, so unless you enjoy a couple seconds of dead space between songs, the "just set up a playlist" idea really isn't the same.

agreed, but it seems a bit extravagant to buy another ipod + this iTrax mixer for a bit of manual crossfading. pitch control is the way forward...
