Korg nanoSeries music controllers
Korg is introducing the nanoSeries line (Japanese link, Google translation) of digital music controllers. There will be three USB-powered models: a 25-key velocity sensitive mini keyboard (nanoKEY), a 12-pad mini drumpad (nanoPAD), and a 9-fader mini mixer (nanoKONTROL). As you can see they're clearly intended for use with a laptop running the Korg Legacy Collection synthesizer software or similar, and nicely integrate with the white MacBook.
The Korg nanoSeries is expected in October for around $100 - $120 each.

That's actually a screenshot of Ableton Live, and the product could work nicely with any number of applications including Apple's own Logic and MainStage.

The Korg Legacy Collection is a set of AUs and VSTis that could be running in Ableton...

Oh man, this stuff looks amazing.
Any idea on the language the setup software would be though? That might be the only thing holding me back.

Installation should be rather simple, they'll act as MIDI controllers I assume and should therefore work with any audio app that allows MIDI control.

I'm using many KORG-Products in my production-workflow, and these may extend my live-tools pretty much.
Some companies produce poor quality, some the best.
KORG is best.
BTW.. TUBES ROCK!

I can see myself buying a couple of these. I've got a Trigger Finger and an Oxygen 49, but it's not exactly easy to drag them around (okay, maybe the Trigger Finger is).
These will be easy to just toss in the bag with my Macbook on the go. Yay.
