Hugo Ortega has a great new video and I’m totally jealous of him! He got an interview with a Samsung Q1 toting John Garden of the Scissor Sisters. That’s a fantastic band.

I won’t give any of the details away because you should watch the videos. I will mention though that I used the Paceblade P7 as a MIDI sequencer last year and though it would make a superb musicians tool. This is from the Paceblade P7 review. 

Another niche sector that might see advantages with the Easybook is the electronic music sector. The Easybook makes a great portable composition tool and midi sequencer. We tried Cubase VST (an older version of Cubase) and it worked fine. Plug in a USB-midi mini keyboard like the Edirol PCRM1 and you’re away. With an spdif output (hopefully available via a docking solution) it also makes a high quality music playback device. For smaller bands and mobile composers, the Easybook makes a great tool. Watch out for the loud but terrible sounding internal speaker and invest in a good pair of headphones though.

Yeah yeah. I know it sounds like I’m trying to cuddle up to famous musicians all over the world but honestly, I enjoy music and I enjoy UMPCs. There’s a lot to be said about music and UMPCs working together. Having said that, if there are any famous UMPC users reading, please send me some pictures of you using your UMPC and I’ll put them in a gallery and cuddle up to you even more!
