Wired.com has a review of the Tonium Pacemaker Portable DJ Machine, and decides it’s cool, but an expensive toy: The Tonium Pacemaker may be modeled after the idiot-proof iPod, but taking advantage of all the features on the Pacemaker requires an inordinate amount of button pushing. Fiddling around with it while sober requires a certain amount of dexterity ? it?s easy to tap the wrong track. Tough to imagine trying to queue up and mix in bar lighting after a few drinks. Ultimately, it?s a cool toy to play around with but not exactly the life of the party. WIRED Beautifully engineered; looks like the gorgeous byproduct of a mind-meld between Jonathan Ive and Walter de?Silva. 120 GB memory. Battery holds enough juice for five hours of mix-and-play time. TIRED Doesn?t act like an iPod. Complicated menu and mixing options make the device not very a practical instrument. $800 could buy you a round-trip ticket to Spain, Berlin or some other hotbed of electronic music. Have you given the Pacemaker a spin yet? If so, let me know what you think in the comments.
