If there's been one

Alesis is just one of many companies creating compelling musical offerings around the iOS tablet with its latest products, the AmpDock and DM Dock.

This unit looks quite clever and can all thank you very much, especially because it's a free copy of Virtual DJ software packages. Perhaps even more exciting is that it is fully compatible with MIDI which means it could be assigned to work with almost any DJ software on the market.
