The iPad is proving to be a useful tool for many different types of musicians who use it in as many different ways, so comfortably integrating it into your on-stage kit makes a lot of sense. The iKlip universal microphone stand adapter for iPad does just that with a fully-adjustable, lightweight design that attaches to almost any microphone stand.
The iKlip has six quick-snap touch points that leave all buttons and ports accessible and promise to hold your precious tablet snuggly without any scratching. It attaches to either the upright or vertical part of a mic stand and can be set-up in portrait or landscape orientation and adjusted to various angles.
The IK Multimedia iKlip ships in December for US$39.99 (ex. tax) .
Also, these pad computers will allow musicians (ones with money, anyway) to collaborate on new material easier. You\'ll be able to store full songs, even karaoke recordings, to help work on instrumental and vocal parts. Some of the apps for iPhone even let you sing notes into the device, which then translates your tone into synthesized instruments. These apps must soon be available for iPad, if they aren\'t already.
Pretty useful stuff, if you don\'t mind dropping several hundred bucks on it.
