Retronyms Releases Tabletop Modular Audio Environment for iPad
Tabletop is built exclusively for the iPad to be expressive, playable and fun. Both professional artists and those with no knowledge of music production can jump right in and start sketching out ideas or composing entire songs. Electronic musician Paul Salva says, “It took no time at all for me to acclimate. I had literally never touched Tabletop before, and within minutes I had some crazy stuff rocking.” To answer any questions about how the app or any of its devices function, Tabletop comes with a built-in user guide.

More news on Hokusai
Always good when a developer comments in with news:
We submitted Hokusai to Apple some time ago and are still waiting to hear back. Glad to hear people are keeping an eye open for it though! Definitely looking forward to it getting into people's hands!
@Anon, the free version of Hokusai offers similar tools to Monle (cut/copy/paste/fade/etc) but the upgraded versions will offer many more offline effects and features :)

Mozilla building 'Boot to Gecko' mobile OS
Lots of sites had this news just the other day about Mozilla building a new operating system for mobile devices at least partially founded on Android.
It makes me wonder what this new mobile OS will mean for mobile music making. Whenever I hear, 'web only', or in this case, 'boot to web' it makes me wonder just how much scope there could be for mobile music here. I also wonder if this will be a competitor to Chrome, or an OS that you could make use of on an existing Android device.
I'm sure of a couple of things though. It's worth keeping an eye on to see how it unfolds, and also as it's from Mozilla it should be good as and when it sees the light of day.
