Inklen has released a new app, Tonetable, that lets you use your iPhone like a DJ turntable.

Tonetable is an application for DJs who want to control their digital vinyl system from an iPhone or iPod Touch. Tonetable produces a control tone that is compatible with most digital vinyl systems, including Serato's Scratch Live, Native Instruments' Traktor Scratch, M-Audio's Torq and Image-Line's Deckadance.

Tonetable features a large scratching platter that lets you scratch and throw "virtual vinyl" in a way similar to using a real turntable. To use Tonetable with DJ software, you connect an audio cable from the line out of your iPhone or iPod Touch to your audio interface's line in.

Obviously, a touchpad isn't going to reproduce the feel and action of a DJ turntable. For many laptop DJ's, though, that may now be irrelevant.

What do you think of the idea of scratching and DJing using an iPhone or iPod touch? Do you think Tonetable could be a useful tool, or is this iPhone music-making getting out of hand?
