NAMM '09- Behringer DAW software... wha?

That's right pal. Behringer has jumped into the the DAW platform arena with EnergyXT2.5 from Norwegian developer XT Software. Hopefully this fine app will succeed in making Norway known for more than 80's hit "Take On Me". They've taken a less is more approach here with minimal windows and a unique "app-on-a-dongle" paradigm: instead of traditionally installing the app, it lives on a USB drive. The advantage here is that it can be used on other machines by just inserting the USB drive- even cross-platform, as Energy 2.5 supports PC and Mac. Generally speaking, it features an easy learning curve, impressive time-stretching algorithims and simple clip-based automation. And the basic version is just $99 (XT2.5 Plus with unlimited tracks and Rewire support $149). Shipping now.
