Are Pocket Pianos or Kaleidoloops in your future?

A couple guys making creating electronic instruments and making music were features in Newsworks recently.  Their affordable devices may appeal to talented who don't want to invest in large, expensive synthesizers.  For less than $200, their pocket piano offers musicians affordable fun that the makers say will fit in any backpack.  Invented in Philadelphia, it wouldn't be hard to take a road trip to see where they're made.  Their "Kaleidoloops" (which records and plays back sounds that can be altered) also makes interesting layered sound effects possible.  More fun than a regular midi keyboard?
