Pacemaker

Am I sure that this is real?
No
Is it still awesome?
Yes

The Pacemaker is a pocket-sized DJ tool that acts something like an iPod with two different channels, allowing you to mix your music on-the-go. Not only that, but while you're doing that, you can save the mix and put it up for all the world to listen to, which the makers claim is completely legal. And it holds 120 gigs. I don't really know how anyone would ever need that much space for their music, but if you want it, it's there.

Now I'm not a DJ in any way, but this thing seems so fucking awesome, and if it were to come out at a reasonable price, I might even pick one up (if it actually comes out at all). It's got EQ, Pitch control, a line out as well as headphones, cue and loop and Xfade for both the headphones and line out. Now apparently Xfade is dumb and gross because you can't do fancy things with it, but this fits in your palm so take what you can get.

As a pure music player, it's pretty damn good anyway. It's small, light and holds a TON of music. Not only that, but it'll play any music you can put on it (not sure about protected files), so no more converting WMA, AAC or OGG files for your player.

But even with all this, I don't even know if it's for real. The company's site doesn't really give any reassurance, though it is kickass. However, it seems to have been featured on some other sites including Engadget, a tech and gadget blog which seems to be pretty legitimate. The only way we'll know for sure is to wait until this fall when the site says it will launch.
