Finger Beats increase desktop groove options

These aren't the first Finger Beats to compete for your finger's attention and your co-workers' patience, but this latest round will give you a bit more variety than standard drum kit introduced a few months ago, adding bongos, a mixer, and the sure-to-be-popular alien choir to the line-up of "instruments." Each will let you tap out a tune and record it onto the unit itself, with a headphone jack thankfully provided for those that have yet to hone their skills. Those looking for a little inspiration can also plug a CD or MP3 player into the device and play along with the music and, when you get tired of it, the device can also double as a mousepad. Look for the whole lot to be available later this month for £20.00 apiece, or just under $40.

any word on the response time on these things? my fingers have a pretty high "rate of fire" when it comes to finger beats!
