Now that the iPad is out there, the hunt for the perfect case begins. We are waiting for the hard shell cases to come out, but until then here’s Incase’s Convertible Book Jacket $59.95

Mixr is a professional DJ app in that fits in your lap. The app features cross-fading, equalizing, cue, drang & drop tracks, and so much more. You’re basically removing the two laptops between your ipods from your DJ gear.  It works like it looks, using the touch screen you can mix the tracks and scratch, pretty straight forward.
