14 DAY TRIAL // Although some of the Internet and multimedia tablets currently available on the market do offer users access to a score of music-oriented applications (both in terms of music creation and playback), it seems that the people over at Trinity Audio Group have decided to roll out a truly music-dedicated tablet, called Indamixx 2 Beta, that offers some rather interesting features but, unfortunately, a pretty hefty price point as well. Currently, the Indamixx 2 Beta M1 Touch (which, in fact, is a rebadged iiView M1 Touch), runs the Transmission 5.0 music application (MeeGo OS versions, since this is the operating system of choice), which is easily accessible via its built-in multi-touch display.
Additionally, the tablet sports an Intel Atom N450 CPU running at 1.66 GHz, a 250GB HDD, 2GB of RAM memory, 2 x USB ports and 1 x Mini VGA port, while also being fairly easy to carry around, as it measures 10.3 x 6.6 x 0.72 inches and weighs 2.6 pounds.
However, the company's also offering a Windows 7 model, called, quite obviously, Indamixx 2 Beta - Windows 7 which packs a slightly different configuration.
So, this model also comes equipped with an Intel Atom N450 processor running at 1.66 Ghz and 2GB of RAM, but it sports just an 160GB HDD, 3 x USB ports and one VGA port.
As mentioned right from the start, the Indamixx 2 Beta tablets are sort of on the expensive side, the MeeGO version selling for somewhere in the vicinity of 700 US dollars, while the Windows 7 model goes as high as 780 US dollars.
And while the music-making application these tablets come pre-loaded with certainly offers a good value, we're not really sure whether musicians will be keen to spend so much money on a music – centric tablet, especially since a bit of extra effort will help them achieve similar results using normal tablets.
