WePad as a midi-controller

[redglass]

that would be nice. have a look at http://wepad.mobi/en

it has:

- USB (2x)
- 11,6" display
- card-reader
- can play flash
- probably cheaper than the ipad
- android OS & Intel Atom CPU
- multitasking!!! you can read something while listening to music, as far as I know the iPad is not able yet to offer multitasking

anyone there, who is coding an app for it to control Live via MIDI/USB?

Again, Windows 7 + multi-touch PC + touch friendly update to Live = best solution

You've always been able to "read something while listening to music" on the iphone/ipod touch and now ipad. It's always had multitasking for native apps like Mail and iTunes. But now with iphone OS 4, iphone/ipod/ipad will have true multitasking done right.

A PC running Windows 7 with a touch screen is a total FAIL. Windows 7's touch screen feature is a combination of the old pen-centric Tablet PC and the hand/finger-centric Surface Table. Many, if not most, of the feature remain pen-centric. Finger-tip touch control is an afterthought at best and simply ignored at worst, as already evidenced by netbooks with touchscreens running Windows 7.

I'd like to know where you get your information. I can show you all the multi-touch API calls they've built into Windows 7 for developers to utilize. It's all up to the application to read the input. Also, how great of a multi-touch screen do you expect to get in a sub-$500 netbook? Get a real multi-touch screen computer and then we'll talk.
