Have you guys actually tested this stuff or just made a 2khz tone?
I have not used the control CD's but when I try to calibrate this in Traktor Scratch Pro using either timecode control vinyl or timecode cd input in Audio 8 DJ it fails to calibrate saying unknown signal.
I notice on the control vinyls there's a bit of static in addition to the control signal beep.
Like I said, never listened to the CD. I have the iPhone audio out plugged into the place in the multi-core cable where normally the turntable/cddj is plugged in.
Thanks.. Paid $8 I wanna be able to use it :)

I would expect any timecode calibration to fail because Tonetable does not output any timecode over it's control tone. We cannot include the timecode in our control tone as it is copyright of whoever produced it (i.e. Serato, Native Instruments, etc).
You will however be able to use Tonetable with Traktor Scratch (and all other compatible DVS software) in "relative" mode.
Let me know if you are still having issues setting this up. I am not too familiar with Traktor Scratch, but we have testers who are.
Calibration failure.
Tonetable controls digital vinyl systems in their "relative" modes (i.e. there is no mechanism for "needle dropping" in Tonetable). In "relative" mode it will allow you to scratch, pitch bend, throw, power down, etc.
When I talk about a "relative" mode I mean that Tonetable will only cause relative movements in Traktor Scratch (i.e. you can't needle-drop or anything like that).
Anyway, here are a few videos of Traktor and Tonetable working together:

The left (lights up blue) is "Absolute" mode meaning wherever the needle is on the vinyl - say 3 minutes in, the loaded song will play at 3 minutes in and follow movement and pitch. The button on the right (lights up Orange) is "Relative" mode where only the movements and pitch follow.
I have used Tonetable with my iPod touch 3g and my iPad with no problems many times.
Works great for control of decks C & D when I am using 1200's for A & B.
Oh and to Inklen, the update is great, although now I spend to much time deciding what color vinyl I want to sport each time.
That and I can't stop watching the already classic "EyeCanDj" demo.
Glad you like the update :)
