At the time, the pocket-sized device looked too much like concept art to be for real.

Well, the good news is that the folks over at Digital-Lifestyles managed to get their hands on one for this exclusive video preview, and all I can say is “Wow.”

The Pacemaker is for real, and it sure has some nifty tricks up its sleeve. The handheld system contains a 120GB hard drive, a color display and touch-sensitive controls for mixing and cueing all your tracks in real time. The company is also working on a free application which lets you create non-destructive edits and effects then download mix sequences to the player.

It’s not inexpensive, at 520€ (about $709 USD), but if you’re seriously into music, you can pre-order one now and be the first on your block to have one when it’s released this November.

While early images of the Pacemaker look more like concept art than a final product, it does look like it will be a pretty cool device when it’s released this Fall.

Tonium’s Pacemaker looks like an MP3 player on some serious ‘roids. For starters, it’s got a huge 120GB hard drive, and supports just about every music format known to mankind. DJs will be able to play back tracks in MP3, VBR, AAC, WMA, WMA Lossless, OGG, FLAC and WAV formats.

Unlike typical MP3 players, the Pacemaker will feature touch-sensitive controls for crossfading between tracks. You’ll also be able to bend pitch, cue tracks, add sound effects and more. You’ll even be able to save your mixes for others to share. Pricing hasn’t been announced yet, so check back for more details as we get closer to launch.
