Cyberstep KDJ-One Mobile Audio Workstation prototype – MeeGo

This is an interesting Article found over at Engadget

Cyberstep’s KDJ-One, a portable digital audio workstation currently in prototype mode, is a noisy little wrinkle in time. While we’re fairly certain it will never see the light of day in your local Guitar Center, we really do want to wish it the best. It combines the aesthetics of a few of our very favorite things: the D-pad, button layout, and chunkiness instantly reminded us of the original DMG Game Boy. The keypad on bottom looks a lot like a tweaked version of a Roland TB-303. And the software inside — pure MeeGo — reminds us of a Tungsten-era Palm device crossed with a laptop from 1999. (But in a really good way!)
A five-inch resistive touchscreen — complete with stylus — sits on top of an Atom E640 CPU, 512MB of RAM, a 4GB SSD drive, and a pair of 2000mAh batteries. Oh, and it’s got a rumble pack on the backside: Cyberstep assures us the QW Vibration System adds “a whole new element of force feedback to your music production experience.” The sampler / looper / sequencer production software itself seems super-basic and pretty fun, although we could probably squeeze a lot more production flexibility out of a $300 netbook. But just look at that dude and tell us you don’t want to squeeze its little white cheeks. Yeah, exactly. Video after the jump.
