(MIDI = Musical Instrument Digital Interface - the industry standard way for digital pianos, drum machines, etc. to connect to eachother)
For some, this would be of no interest,
but to those of us doing music games, it could be amazing!
connect this $99 piano keyboard, or a $70 adapter to connect ANY MIDI capable machine
And these are existing open libraries, so would not need to be written from scratch.

Interestingly enough, though, becuase there is a HUGE MIDI infrastructure created over the last 25 years, this could allow control of all kinds of devices, not only music.
Of course, I still wish for VGA video out support, of course!

Update heres a link to their new developer site
"As an open invitation to developers, we are now providing the SDK at no charge, and are not charging any license fee or royalty."
Hopefully, this should kickstart the development of MIDI-capable iOS apps - requests for the SDK should be sent to MMdeveloper@line6.com.
