Play Your iPhone like a Flute with the Smule Ocarina [video]
Do songs like "Bungle In the Jungle," "Stairway to Heaven" and the Zelda theme song have 5 stars ratings on your iPhone? Then perhaps you should check out an iPhone App called the Smule Ocarina.An innovative company called Smule has written an iPhone App that utilizes both the iPhone's touch screen and microphone and created the first true iPhone wind instrument - The Smule Ocarina.
An ocarina is an ancient flute-like wind instrument, and one of the easiest instruments to learn. To use the Smule Ocarina, just blow into your iPhone's microphone and control the pitch with different fingerings on the touch screen.

The Smule Ocarina's advanced options allow you to choose between diatonic, minor and harmonic scales. There's also another option called Zeldarian mode which will make your iPhone sound like it was used to compose The Legend of Zelda theme song.

Middle-aged folks in my office are crazy for strange iPhone apps. Like that iPhone ocarina thing. They're playing Amazing Grace on it.
I would love to see something like this for the Motorola Krave! Ever since I started working with Motorola, I can't stop talking about it! You can check out the full list of features online at motorola.com/krave. My favorite features are the full touch screen and speaker phone. Has anyone else tried that game out yet?
That's pretty awesome! I have friends that would be amazed with something like that. Though they don't find my phone so amazing when they find out they can't send me MMS.. stupid Apple..
It'd be lots of fun to start playing this in the break room at work. haha
