Wow, check out this absolutely bonkers iPad DJing kit by Numark. Sure, it’s not for serious DJs, but for amateurs who want to play at being daftly punk, this is a very cool accessory.
Leveraging the iOS app DJay, Numark’s iDJ Live controller costs $100, but it looks pretty sick, even if this guy doesn’t know what the heck he’s doing:

The usual idea is that you would use NFC to set up the link between the two devices and then do an automatic hand over to a different protocol for doing the actual transfer of data – eg Bluetooth,iphone 5
