Man..., this thing will do more than silly loops! I too have seen many of the vids.., and some of them are full songs. I'm waiting for this thing to be released here. It has been released in Japan, and also in Europe, but the US release has yet to happen. The DS-10 was originally only supposed to be released in Japan, but people went nuts when they found out and hammered Japan for a world wide release.

Amazon has changed the US release date several times on their site and the most recent one is November 4th. For the price this is a killer little pocket synth. Also the internal speakers on the DS won't do it any justice. Once you hook it up to a set of speakers it'll sound 100 times better
