headset and Bluetooth GPS options. Absolutely love this thing. Battery life
is a bit of a pain but you get use to it. I even have this really cool
setlist / metronome app on there for giging. I didn't subscribe to the
wireless web option, too much $ but I do access my home web connection via
Bluetooth. My next goal is to run virtual desktop software on this thing and
start/stop Paris for doin overdubs from the ISO booth...!!

> PeteFirst of all, Pete, I'm very impressed. I'm a person who not only has a cell
phone, a PDA, a Blackberry, and various other electronic prostheses without
which I'm a mouth breathing moron (OK, I'm one of those anyway, but with
lots of gadgets), part of my job is actully to run the Blackberry servers
that let other people get their email on their gadgets. If you've made it
this far without a cell phone you really, really might want to think about
sticking with what's been working.
That said, if you decide you want a phone and a PDA I'd take a serious look
at the Treo 6xx model. It's a Palm based phone/PDA. Palm

>Hmmmmmm. Don't shoot the messenger here but I don't think the hardware accelerated
recording systems are worth the extra money these days. That is, Paris/PT/Sonic/TripleDAT/ETC
were really designed to overcome a problem that ended a while ago--latency.
Remember, back in the day 30 ms latency on a native system was considered
good. I'm talking, like Mac 603/604 days when you had to monitor via hardware
to track. At that point PARIS was a real bargain (why I bought it). But today
I think PARIS-like systems fundamentally solve a latency problem that no
longer exists. Sure there are other advantages to mixing on a hardware based
system but they're all easy to work around while latency isn't.
So the economics in the 2-3k range becomes yesterday's PT or PARIS or native.
Native means 1k computer, 1k software, 1k interface, and let's tell the truth
that 1k software can be reduced if one is willing to cut some corners and
run the odd crack. That's the user economics. The vendor economics are, "Do
I want to spend all of this money on DSP programmers and chip foundry guys
to get a hardware system to market or should I partner up someone else and
make my stuff work with theirs?" I mean, that's why M-Audio and Digi are
such a good fit. Native systems with M-Audio and a gentler path to the high
end (10k) stuff if things go well.
To me it's a little like the hardware synth world. There are 100 good reasons
to do software and three good reasons to do hardware. Remember the Hartmann
Neuron? The greatest synth you never used. Stephan Sprenger, the DSP man
behind that synth, is a dear friend of mine--I flew to Germany for his wedding.
I met Axel Hartmann who was the coolest, most fascinating guy you could ever
meet. Axel did the interface for the Neuron and the Micorwave XT and a whole
bunch of other super cool stuff. But they were selling the finest horse and
buggy ever made five years after Henry Ford brought out the Model T. Now,
I look at everything out there and I doubt I'll buy another hardware syn
