Did I look like I had plans to buy anything from there? In the end, no. There might be previous generation Ipads and Iphones along with various Android devices but what am I going to do with the Ipad I have purchased then? Would I get Reflec Beat and Jubeat on that thing? Would I download some DJ software that would enable me to hook up the tablet to that iRig Mixer? What about those Android devices there?
I had messed myself up by having bought the second Android tablet with a defective touchscreen hardware in the past and I couldn't afford myself to buy another Android tablet at that time. There might be those devices that cost less than $200 but...
One controversy was that there was a joke-level touch drum controller on sale along with the touch-piano. Who wants to buy those when buying a real drum-set or piano is a better bet? In fact, you could have bought a drum controller elsewhere like the one that is from Rock Band games. Not to mention that the DTX simulator was being shown off at the public event in action with those drum controllers. That was what sparked controversy there and turned me off when I saw it but taking pictures of that booth as evidences might be as disrespectful as I thought. To use the simulators/emulators or perhaps the unofficial music remixes/arrangements/covers for a public event might be an illegal idea like I already witnessed one in the past. The damage of the reputation was big on the local scale on where the event took place but it couldn't be undone if shown on the net, news or even media. Luckily, only the controller shown there was profited but I think it's still risky to use the simulators like the Drummania simulator, DTX, at Singapore Expo as there's no way a license can be obtained like that for public roadshow sales. What about the music stored on the computer then? Did they have the license for that?
So, the controversial discovery was a lesson for new musicians, comedians, DJs, rock band members, etc. A license for profitable performance in public is required along with the music you take from that can be USED LEGALLY. I don't want to see a gaming event with game system emulators being used. It's illegal to me that way and there's no way to tell who owns the those games and the license like that. The same goes to the gaming event involving music games, fighting games, racing games and even simulation games. In fact, preparing the device for an IT event that contains illegal software and materials can land the organizers in trouble. There were already complaints from the customers regarding whatever they discovered inside upon buying an electronic stuff.
