Post about "iStage"

I suppose an explanation is order.. The iCon iStage controller originally made it’s debut @ MuskiMesse 2010, as previously blogged here and apparently is already for sale in Europe.

Rumor abounds that it will be available in June along with the iCreative that also debuted at Messe, 2011, but the truth is, I don’t know if that’s been confirmed or even if that’s a US release date. I’ve written their US offices and will update if and when information becomes available.
