apple rumored to be making a pro ipod for Djs
I think an ipod with TWO wheels on it for pros would be hi-larious and probably loads of fun.
post you mock ups here!

i think dj's could use this more than anything else.
keep using vinyl and be able to record their set!
this is what i'm waiting for!
Some drugged-out clubgoer said they thought they might've heard a rumor about something like a DJ version of an iPod. For the NY Post, this is a credible source.
Nothing to see here, folks.

While a dual spinwheel iPod seems cool, I don't think Apple will make this. But how about someone made a "DJ-dock" with a couple of spinwheels, crossfade and other thinks that you may need when you're a DJ (I haven't got a clue). Would be cool as there seem to be many DJ's out there using the iPod as a way to get rid of the "jewel-case-hell" and large LP-cases.

I really wouldn't see the point. These days if you aren't using vinyl it's just a laptop at the center. An iPod would only reduce your options.
moby uses cd spin tables
or at least they came back from one of his tours...not sure if he actually used it or not, though i'd assume

awesome, haha i want one
i still think we just need to be able to record with our ipod's!
i've been using mini-disc for this and it's not the most elegant solution!
i'd much prefer recording direct to disk!

So, it is a pretty bad mock up but hey. The way I think of a DJ iPod is that it is just a little bit wider then the current one. It holds two hard drives. In the preferences you set which one is the first one, and which is the second. The SWITCH button in the middle would switch from the first iPod to the second, and you would use the buttoms at the bottom accordingly.
try a full set of equalizer sliders for each source, and a crossfader
strect the top of te ipod. put a wheel above the current screen of the ipod. then turn the screen 90 so its all handled width wise (a scroll wheel on each side)
its would be more like a prosumer type sampler.

Or just build this sort of functionality into a larger iPod base. It seems that it would be wise not to exclude the current market of DJs that use iPods to store and play music. In addition, it would seem this rumor and the other rumor of advanced iPod bases would neatly coincide in this manner. If I was Apple thats the way I would do it... why spend more money on manufacturing a new line of iPods when you can manufacture a base and keep the current lineup simple, this would help keep cost down (and thereby margins up).

white is obvious but i could definatly see the case for titanium gray.
you mean with the new base and the new bottom connector.
that and the new softare would do nicely.
i wonder if there are any mixing tables that have a fireware port coming out of them.
