Multi-Charging Dok Station

The iPad was designed to be “designed”, if you know what I mean.  Even though the iOS comes with a slew of self endorsed programs, many users ignore them and simply download their own apps to use with the device.  It is no different than the bloatware that comes on a PC with a preinstalled version of Windows 8.  iPod users understand this and it does not affect then, as much as it used to – as these programs are easy to remove and ignore altogether.  It is the app designers who make the platform such a magical one – not Apple itself.  There is also another side to the iPad that can be explored by creators and designers, the hardware. Since the iPad is such a sleek device, it lends itself to being built into other objects.  You can think of it as something similar to an SD card, or a five inch floppy disk that can be inserted into a slot.  Companies such as IK Multimedia and Numark have even integrated the iPad directly into their hardware (literally).  All that is left is to make a alarm clock unit that can house any one of these tablet devices, and it has been executed well. http://www.audioholics.com/reviews/speakers/lifestyle-desktop-and-portable/dok-cr34-station-video

DJ Player 6.1 — Numark iDJ Pro friendly

There has been recent new about independent app developers who have found ways create their own DVS programs, without having to go the traditional route (which means shelling out at least five hundred dollars for a physical USB soundcard).  These underdogs of the digital world actually have a lot going for them, even if they aren’t financially backed like these larger companies out there.  The key to their success is the iPad and what they are able to do inside that operating system.  There is trend towards smaller gear and less gear if possible, so taking the hardware soundcard out of the system seems like a smart play.
