there's already apps for iphone like this, but it just looks more fun with a stylus."
ignorant comments like this are ridiculous. iphoners, do you really have a clue on comparing ds software with 3 dollar iphone apps. seriously!!???? the ds korg is a fully functional drum machine and sequencer. iphone has junky t-pain gimmick apps. when will iphoners educate themselves? this ignorance begets ignorance and after awhile, everyone owns an iphone and is happy with the inferior software, the restrictions (mms new!! haha. what a joke, pay for tethering, etc), and starts being happy to be just like everyone else with no individuality!!! get a ds, use a blackberry, create your own trends, and most importantly, support open source software!!!!!!!! real electronics fans who actually know how complex and clearly awesome the ds10 korg program is rejoice!!!
You haven't actually used the iPod's synthesizers, have you? Because they exist, and, uh, they actually don't suck. Case in point: iSyn, which you can read about on their website here: http://www.isynapp.com/ I mean, much love to the DS-10 and whatnot [though I really like my Micron and, tbh, can't stand the portable synths - something I learned with experience], but to say that the iPod just has garbage is plain wrong.
Have you even tried the iDaft iPhone app? "the ds korg is a fully functional drum machine and sequencer", sure, but in terms of reproducing the original DaftPunk track, the iPhone app is brilliant as it includes both original sound effects, and original melody, provided by Daft Punk themselves. It's not a matter of one is better than other, they don't do the same things. Stop bitching.
But that's beside the point, this is not about the iPhone app.
For those here who have not seen it/them yet, make sure you search youtube for 'daft hands', and then 'daft bodies'. Very impressive too, especially when the tempo picks up :)
Germain, the iPhone app (although I've never used it) sounds from your description to be sample-based. You obviously don't know much about electronic music. Anybody could make an app that plays little embedded audio clips. This guy reproduced the tones using (limited) synthesis...you know, real talent!
I want to criticize the iphone apps but seriously, apps like 8bitone makes me want to get one- well at least an ipod touch I don't want to switch my phone
The Triumph proved to be one of the better looking and performing pre-paid handsets we'd had the pleasure of holding in our sweaty mitts, but we had one major hangup: the name.

I see. I fail to get as excited by this as I do by the sampling app, but, fair enough.
