I was waiting for that and "..................................................." darn it, no price and availability info :| ...guess Nick will add that to the post text :)

3 things missing from this does-it-all dock:

1) USB input, to connect USB-only MIDI controllers and/or a USB Keyboard (like the Camera Kit)

2) HDMI out and/or at least a...

3) Dock Connector pass-through so one could still use Apple's HDMI or Camera Kit adapters while using the IO Dock (solving those issues mentioned above)

Apart from this, it looks very interesting.

Make a rack-mountable version and I'm sold on it.

I dont have that info, wasnt me that filmend this one, but I do now that there's a bit of a wait on some of the Alesis/Akai stuff. The iPad dock keyboard for instance is not coming till November....

Great stuff, but will it work also with the thinner iPad 2?

Bring it on Alesis, people are waiting to use this!

All good, but for the usual flimsy power connector. About time something more robust became standard
