My M3100 (HTC Hermes) has a powerful computer, it can do all my emails. POP, IMAP, Exchange – iPhone wont support this, i can take photos on it and view them as a slideshow, I can browse the Internet using 3G and even listen to my music on it. Granted I wont have anything as powerful as iTunes to play my music but to be honest if I wanted to listen to music i will use my iPod.
I would like to see if when rotated the other way, to shown in the video below, that the screen rotates like that as well – otherwise that’s a bit poo really! My screen will rotate and it also has a built in full QWERTY keyboard that will let me type messages to my hearts content.

I can look at all my contacts I can do everything I would want to do on my phone and some more.

Apple your phone is very pretty and I’m sure that it will sell really well but at the cost it is I cant see how I can afford to do it. My Hermes will keep me going for a year or two and by that time there will be something else that is newer and more cool and cheaper!

There are however some features that make this a less than desirable product to own

You will need 2 iPods (who has 2) so that you can mix from track to track.

If you two, then you will need to have the same collection on both as there’s nothing worse than having the next track on the source you are currently sending to the speakers.

This has all been done before anyway by Numark with their iDJ which is now in its second incarnation. The first iDJ had the same features as the Gemini product but without the video (IIRC). The second gen iDJ recognises the fact that people don’t have two iPods and will allow you to mix from track to track through just a single music player – a much better solution if you ask me.

The Numark iDJ (2 iPod) is available from decks.co.uk for £169 and the iDJ2 for £429. The Gemini iTrax is reported to be coming in at around £100 which is what should be expected for something like this.

If you are seriously considering buying an iPod DJ package and have the money to spend go for the iDJ2 any day as the other two require you to have two iPods to use it properly!
