Problem is, iPods don't have pitch control. What are they going to do, buffer the audio feed from the iPod? That, combined with the fact that an iPod can't play two tracks without a gap in between (don't get me wrong, I own and love my iPod, but come on!) really makes it a rough choice as a DJ tool.

I'd much rather see a dual hard drive player, like someone mentioned. Perhaps it would support transfer to and from an iPod for ease of use and the ability to switch up your music library while out on the road without a computer.

DJ CD players can play the CD at different speeds (just like a record), and at least attempt to emulate things like "scratching" etc, because the abilities are built in to the CD players themselves. The iPod has none of these abilities, so it would all have to be somehow faked after the fact. Not gonna happen, kids... not well, anyway..
