This is an absolutely magical device that nevertheless makes me sad. When I was a kid I thought I'd be riding around in flying cars by now. The problem ended up surprising me: It's not that flying cars don't exist--they do. The problem is they cost a million dollars because every one is built by hand. So there's no way I'll ever own one. I'd also like to have a portable synth with great sound, long battery life, a multitude of handy features, and excellent design. But it's the same surprising problem as the flying cars: The technology to build it exists but it costs 10x what I'd be comfortable paying. I'd be okay paying 2x for the great design, but 10x just makes the thing a piece of wealth-signifying jewelry. Even if somebody gave me one, I'd never want anybody to know I had it.
