Call me stupid, but this is one of the reasons I bought an ipod touch. My guess, and this is just a guess, is that they scheduled to release it right before the release of the iphone 4. All of their images have the v3, and with a more powerful and capable phone available, it just seems dumb to release something already outdated. Anyhow, I'm very curious to see how compatible this controller will be with other audio apps. Hopefully, we can get an update on what to expect sooooon.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28744907.post-44812144480546253642010-05-03T18:46:59.960+01:002010-05-03T18:46:59.960+01:00I just called Akai US and they told me not till Ju...I just called Akai US and they told me not till June.

There probably isn't much financial incentive for other developers to add compatibility with this device, but I hope they see the long term benefit to the music app market that compatibility would bring.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15852927508702120401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28744907.post-4799562669460451142010-04-26T15:59:26.457+01:002010-04-26T15:59:26.457+01:00im still waiting for these to come out.

Im interested in having a small portable keyboard for my laptop so ive been thinking of either getting the 2 akai units (LPK25 and LPD8), or save the money and wait for the synthstation. (which can be used in USB mode). Of course the bonus of the synthstation is that i can use it standalone with my ipod and hopefully apps will get updates to utilise it. no drum pads though.. booo! <br />I really hope the app community update to support this. If not, it'll be a heck of a novelty item.RogBnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28744907.post-7614520938103978882010-04-26T15:39:06.086+01:002010-04-26T15:39:06.086+01:00I have a pre-order through Sweetwater.com, who sta...I have a pre-order through Sweetwater.com, who state on their website that the keyboard will be available the week of May 9th.<br /><br />I just called them for an update and was told that it looks like they are expecting their shipment around mid-May.Pierre Fontainehttp://pierrefontaine.webs.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28744907.post-19623087282305599052010-04-26T15:15:26.098+01:002010-04-26T15:15:26.098+01:00guitar center here in the US has a 5/21 release da...guitar center here in the US has a 5/21 release date.<br /><br />http://www.guitarcenter.com/Akai-Professional-SynthStation25-Piano-Keyboard-for-iPhone-and-iTouch-485429-i1513163.gccragdanglerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04556635307315434671noreply@blogger.com
