redsn0w, 2G Jailbreak am Horizont?

Scheinbar hat das Iphone Devteam nach nur 2 Stunden Arbeit einen Ipod Touch 2G Jailbreak gefunden.
In ein paar Tagen soll es dann soweit sein, dass ein funktionfaehiger Jailbreak releast wird.

SurfaceDJ Iphone App Review

Videos: Quick Look at the 30 Loops | (Quick'n'Dirty) Review

Developers Description: SurfaceDJ is a completely addictive music mixing application featuring 30 custom loops[...].You can create personal mixes that are all your own.[...] Both novices and experienced musicians alike will find SurfaceDJ to be a fun, easy and unique way to interact with music.

How to use: From the start page you select one of the "songs", which are basically sound themes.
That brings you into the main view, with the loop "coins" at the bottom and the mixing area at the top
Now you can drag the coins up into the mixing area, making them playback. The closer to the center they are, the louder they play.
The app supports multitouch, meaning you can drag as many coins around simultaniously as your fingers can manage. Doubletapping a coin will bring it into or out of the mixing area instantaniously, depending on its position.

Does it work? Yes, it does indeed work suprisingly well. Its intuitive and most importantly, very simple, meaning that even the most novice of musicians(read n00b) can get right into it and feel really cool making what often enough sounds like really passable electronic music. Because the loops are always in sync to each other, you cant even really mess up the rythm.
Thats propably the only bad side to the "simplicity-coin": It might get repetitive, especially for the professional musicians; but thats nothing additional audio themes couldnt cure.
You'll also have to "perform" live, because the App's missing a recording function, for now.

Oh, did I mention that it's free as of now? Even if it weren't, i guess I'd pay up to 2$ for this refreshingly simple musical experience.

P.S.: Im not affiliated with the developers of SurfaceDJ in any way, although, in retrospective, I wished I were, seeing as how much money there seems to be in making "honest" "reviews", looking at certain websites .

RJDJ - Drogen für die Ohren!

Gerade eben habe ich im Appstore ein geniales, meiner Meinung nach revolutionäres Programm entdeckt: RJDJ.
Es nimmt seonsorischen Input, wie zB die Umgebungsgeraeusche via des Mikrofons oder die Postionsveraenderung via des Beschleunigungssensors und stellt daraus in Echtzeit dynamische, fast schon pyschiodelisch anmutende Musik her.
Klingt komisch, ist aber geil! Ich besitze das Programm noch nicht, aber schon nachdem ich mir folgende Beispielvideos angesehen hatte, könnte ich mir gut vorstellen, ständig mit meinem Ipod Touch rumzulaufen, auf der Suche nach besseren Umgebungsgeräuschen und dem nächsten grossen "Kick";).
