Musicians, listen up. Ever tired of having to pause during the middle of practicing your music to turn the page? Well now you don't have to with the new Bluetooth AirTurn BT-105 for iPad accessory!

The BT-105 is actually compatible with most Bluetooth-enabled PC and Mac computers, but AirTurn thinks the iPad is "a practical sheet music reading tool." And when you think about the size and propping it up on a music stand (as pictured), they do have a point.

Anyway, the BT-105 seems like a useful accessory as it will turn pages on programs such as forScore, MusicReader, and unrealBook with the tap of your foot on the device. The message is sent via Bluetooth to the compatible device of your choice, and you have a hands-free page turn.

The BT-105 will become available on the AirTurn web store for $69 on Tuesday, November 16. Seems a bit pricey, but maybe it will save you a lot of frustration when having to pause constantly. Most music stands don't have as much space to lay out all the pages of a long piece like a piano does.
