Indamixx 2, Music-Focused Tablet Powered by Linux, Unveils Beta Program (Create Digital Music) [LWN.net]

The Create Digital Music blog has a look at the MeeGo-based Indamixx 2 audio tablet; one of the first MeeGo tablets available. "The software bundle is the main source of value here, since the tablet you could buy separately. The beta includes various commercial, proprietary software, including file exchange support for Ardour, full copies of Renoise, energyXT, and superb plug-ins from LinuxDSP. Theres also software that, while free, could take a significant investment of time to set up, even for someone with some familiarity with Linux. That includes customization, tweaking, and configuration of the MeeGo Linux operating system, and packages for things like JACK setup. The beta also includes extras like access to a streaming server, accessories, and pre-installation of a multi-boot configuration. As Trinity has pushed before, one audio output option is HDMI, which provides multichannel outs without the need for a dedicated card (provided you have something to which you can connect HDMI on the other end)."

It makes me pretty sad that most of the high quality DSP software for Linux systems has gone the commercial/demo-ware route. There are a lot of free tools, but much of it isn't very good (user interface or audio-quality wise).
