I posted this over at Palm Sounds, but it’s a good picture of Genome running on the iPad and controlling Paul’s Shruthi-1. So it goes here too.

Raspberry Pi is on the way!
I’m really excited. It is on the way at last! But of course, what will I do with it? I have an ambitious plan of course, what else would you expect. However, it is almost certainly too ambitious for me to pull it off, but then, if it wasn’t, what would the point be of trying?

He was amazing. Truly amazing. I really enjoyed this performance.
Serious consideration of Android
Yep, I am seriously considering Android for my next phone, which I will be able to update to in just over 2 weeks. As someone who is totally into music making on handheld devices you might wonder why I’m even interested in Android as it has no use whatsoever for music. Ok, that’s a little over the top. There are a few music making apps for Android, but not many to be fair.
So why move? Well, simply put it is that Android is more open and accessible. In data terms there is nothing to choose between the two operating systems really. If I want email, RSS, twitter etc then they can both do most of this stuff just fine. So one of the things I’m considering is moving to an Android phone and getting an iPod touch to use for music making.
The next couple of weeks will tell me if I can make the jump successfully.
