It’s a pretty bold statement when a company says they’ve produced the most advanced product of its type in the company’s history, but if anything is gonna qualify for that label it is the DJM-2000.

At first blush it looks like your standard 4 channel DJ mixer.  But take a closer look and you’ll notice a multitouch 5.8-inch touchscreen.  Now I’m no DJ, but the DJM-2000 looks like it’s a game changer as far as mixing tracks on the fly goes.  Sure, the touchscreen can let you control MIDI sequences and other MIDI gear, as well as apply effects to sounds, but what is really neat is the Frequency Mix Mode.  Traditionally, DJs would just mix in a channel using a slider, but in Frequency Mix Mode DJs can select a specific frequency from the accompanying track or channel and mix only that frequency into the main track that is playing.  Cool, huh?

Anyway, all you DJs wll be glad to here that it will go on sale this June.  The downside is that it will cost $3000.

Pioneer is dipping their toe in what I’d would deem very murky and saturated waters.  Today, they announced the introduction of their iPod compatible speaker systems, the XW-NAS3 and XW-NAS5.  Both units features 2.1 channel sound (includes a downward firing subwoofer), Bluetooth A2DP stereo support (adapter required), a hidden display behind the grill and 60 watts of power.  The higher end NAS5 takes it a step further and includes an FM radio and plays some sort of ambient sound, at least according to iPodnn.  Both units also features video outputs.

There’s no word on when the XW-NAS3 and XW-NAS5 will hit US shores, but I’d expect them no later then mid October.

With the emergence of Netbooks and super slim laptops, built-in optical drives are no longer part of the computer’s standard hardware.  So it’s no surprise that we keep seeing more and more of these tiny external optical drives.

Pioneer’s latest, the DVR-XD09, has a footprint that is so freakin’ small it could be easily mistaken for a CD jewel case.  It boasts an 8X DVD write speed, USB 2.0 connectivity and the rights to being one of the world’s smallest and lightest on the market today.

The DVR-XD09 will hit store shelves this August and retail for $79.99.
