Line 6 has introduced a new $5.99 app, MIDI Surface (App Store link), that lets you turn your iPhone, or iPod touch into a hardware MIDI control surface.

MIDI Surface works with the Line 6 MIDI Mobilizer, a MIDI adapter that connects to the iPhone or iPod touch.

This is pretty interesting – but adapt this for the iPad and get third-party app support and MIDI Mobilizer could become a new platform for musicians.
