iLounge on iPhone micro projector

iLounge has this post on a super small projector for the iPhone. No news on price for this as yet, but it does look good.

Native apps coming to Android

Brighthand reports that native applications will be coming to an Android device near you soon. The Native Dev Kit is on the way, but has some limitations.

I've been away camping for the weekend and I've only just got back. It was great to get some time to use Sunvox and Bhajis in piece and quiet.

Anyway, lots of news to catch up with since Friday, and more about what I've been doing with Sunvox etc later.

CDM on PD and RJDJ

I was reading this post on CDM about PD and RJDJ, and noticed at the end there was a note about this event in London next month, which sounds really interesting.

Antix Player ported to Android

You may be wondering why this is a significant piece of news? Well, the Antix platform is a possible target platform for Mixtikl, xand on top of that is going to make it possible for games and apps to sit on hardware that runs the Antix platform.

I'm no export but I think that Antix is going to be big in the near future, and if it is running on Android then we could see some really great audio and music apps for Android running on Antix.

Why not build an ArduinoBoy?

This looks like a great project to run from instructables.

Korg DS-10 PLUS !!!!

Following on from the post a few days ago about the possibility about a new version, here it is. The main new features are:

4 x Analogue Synths (from 2)
8 x Drum synths
12 tracks
Real time editing

However, I think the newer features are only workable with the DSi, at least that's the implication from the video above.

One thing that did strike me was that he ends with "and that's just the beginning", so what does that mean?

File under very useful

CDM (one of my fav blogs) has an excellent post on pronunciation for music terms.

Strange Agency's prototype drum machine

Does this look like spinPad from miniMusic to you?

Pete Cole on Mixtikl desktop data sharing

Pete posts on the continued progress with mixtikl on the iPhone and on Windows and the issues around getting data sharing working right. It sounds like this app is really going to be something when it arrives.

Personally I can't wait for Mixtikl on the iPhone and 1.5 on Windows Mobile.

No emulators right?

Think again, here's a calculator emulator that has just turned up on the app store. So why no ZX, Newton, C64 emulations I wonder?
