iPhone Mackie Control emulator, plus other MIDI interfaces

A company called iTM has released various MIDI interfaces for iPhone:

iTM MidiLab (Free) - free demo of the tools
iTM Keys ($5.99) - Midi keyboard
iTM Matrix ($5.99) - Button matrix
iTM XYPad ($5.99) - Touch Pad
iTM MCU ($5.99) - Mackie Control Emulation

All are welcome tools for iPhone and music tech fans but of most interest is the Mackie Control emulator. There is a well known (and ridiculously priced) app out there for $150, which has done the silly thing of closing themselves off to a huge market of people with the price. This isn't the place for that debate, but the MCU emulator looks like it will be an affordable replacement.

The other MIDI tools look cool too.

Their website is itouchmidi.com

Thoughts?

Probably about time you were on Leopard now anyway isn't it?! Don't know how I'd work without spaces now, and time machine saved my ass big time twice now.

I've got MCU running on Adobe Audition 3 / Windows XP. It's a little buggy and loses the network once-in-a-while but they're "testing' right now on Windows. I'm pretty impressed, so far. It was easy to set up and relatively intuitive.
I would change quite-a-few things, like fewer sliders in exchange for track labels (even the first letter would be good enough (L for lead guitars, for example). It's the best six bucks I've spent this year, for sure.
It's just nice not to have to run back-and-forth from the computer to the drums/mic all the time!
