Get Physical :: Mixing App for iPhone (Video)

iPhone apps are set to minaturize the whole world if you asked me but when it comes to music I will happily take anything I can get my hands on.  Get Physical is set to help you turn your phone into a set of turntables at the slide of a finger.  XLR8R had this to say about it.

Featuring 18 club-ready tunes from Booka Shade, DJ T, and Patrice Baumel, to name a select few, the application allows you to crossfade tracks, apply a variety of effects, and use the touch screen to “scratch” at will. Now all would-be DJs can hone their skills on the go!”
