I have to admit this is kind of cool. For those of you who play in a band and your learning other peoples songs, long gone are the days of lugging around large boxes with paper tab, now everything can be fitted on what looks like a mini iphone that connects to the headstock of your guitar. This will be great for those who play in church, they can now cast aside those music stands and opt for this.

It scrolls lyrics and chords in perfect time, carrying thousands of songs, backing tracks and cover videos. You can download backing tracks and video lessons from a library of legal tabs. It has a touch screen, built in speaker or you can add headphones and it comes with usb connector, power charger, soft carry pouch, full wifi, web browser, email, instant messanger and it weights 0.14kg. Cost will be $199 and will hit stores in April 2010
