Apogee Electronics has JAM guitar input for the iPad

Yes, we know that the new iPad was just announced earlier today, but that doesn’t mean its predecessor is consigned to the reject bin immediately. No sir, how about gracing your tablet with the JAM guitar input from Apogee Electronics? This device will also play nice with other iOS devices like the iPhone and iPod touch, where PureDIGITAL technology will see the JAM enable musicians to practice, record and rock out with ultimate tone thanks to the guitar amps and effects that can be found in Apple’s GarageBand software. This is a plug-and-play device, so you need not go through any kind of configuration – and it is compatible with the iPad 2 as well, all going for $99 a pop. Additional hardware information on the JAM can be found in the extended post.
