1. iPod DJ Mixer
So you've seen the Numark iDJ2, now check out this custom built "iPod DJ Mixer".The click wheel is smaller than a 12-inch analog.

To be an iPod DJ, you gotta think about a new interactive controller to operate the players -- combining the iPod's interface as a module for a new DJ system.[Source]

That’s iTopia in the background, their store-within-a-store dedicated to iPods and iPod accessories.[Source]
