So far it's a great piece of engineering, but there are a few things that are not good.
1. Video only plays out the video RCA jack when connected to the Alesis io dock, not good if you don't have a tv handy.... You have to slip your iPad out of the dock to have the video play on the iPad again..... Gotta get a fix for this ASAP.
2. It's not that easy to remove the iPa... read more [+]d once it's in the io dock..... Maybe good? Maybe bad?..... We'll see over time.
3. My Akai lpk25 keyboard will not work into the USB post on the io dock, probably does not supply enough power..... Too bad as this is a great little keyboard for travel. close [-]

You gotta love the iPad and all of its musical implications. The thing rocks, period. And now, with the Alesis iO Dock, you can make your iPad rock even harder. This baby turns your iPad into an on-the-go recording system - how cool is that?! There are two mic/line/instrument inputs, so you can record pretty much whatever you want. And with phantom power, you can even use your favorite studio condenser microphones. There's also MIDI I/O, so you can control apps with your MIDI controller, or take your iPad and iO Dock into the studio and play back sequences you created at home! Other good stuff on the Alesis iO Dock includes the composite video output for connecting to an external video monitor, the USB connection, and a footswitch input for even more control options. Use it with practically any Apple iPad app... you're gonna love the iO Dock!- Turns an iPad into a recording/performing/playback station
