Well, whatdayaknow. Finally, an app for the iPhone that makes me want to rush right out and buy one.

Ocarina is the first true musical instrument created for the iPhone. Both experts and beginners will be amazed by this innovative player. Ocarina is sensitive to your breath, touch and movements, making it even more versatile than the original. Unlike other musical applications, there are no pre-compiled riffs so musicians will find unlimited opportunities for self-expression. Advanced options allow you to choose between diatonic, minor and harmonic scales. Or channel your favorite video game adventurer with Smule’s Zeldarian mode.

    They should use one of the guitar apps for the guitar.

    Check out this iband.

    [Yes, but who stole all the fingers off their gloves? – ed.]

    Uncle Dave….recorders cost about $2.50.

    But, hippies playing Zep on iPhones. Perfect.

  3. The Monster's Lawyer says:

    Crappy production quality for this video. They need to hire the A cappella guy in two posts down.

  4. QB says:

    Ok, it’s official. The iPhone has made me throw up in the back of my mouth.

    I’ll be listening to Kind of Blue while I drive to work.

  5. James Hill says:

    Children, just because the iPhone is the most important piece of technology in this decade is no reason to get pissy.

    Now, get in a circle and play some pan flute.

  6. jobs says:

    I think you guys miss the point of all this. A year ago if someone told you that there would be a phone that played instruments with no strings or keys, played games with no buttons, send email with no keyboard, took pictures with no shutter button, draw pictures with no brush, ran google earth with a pinch, listen to radio from anywhere with no subscription, played youtube videos with no flash and on and on. You would have said that would be a game changer.

    How quick we become jaded.

  7. QB says:

    jobs, I get it. I write apps for the iPhone and other mobile devices. I’m transforming businesses and how they reach out to their customers and collaborate internally. I’m integrating services and people where ever they are to create new product groups and enhance niche brand identity. Yea, we all get that.

    But dude, bad taste is bad taste.

  8. Olo Baggins of Bywater says:

    Can the iPhone stir paint? That’s what I need in the morning.

    QB…I have no idea what you just wrote, but it sounds impressive, I think.

  9. QB says:

    Olo, yes I’m so hip I have to unzip my fly just to see. *snort*

    I get really tired of the “(oop|internet|web2|iphone) has changed everything and our world is now different” thing.

  10. GregA says:

    iPhone detractors just don’t get the iPhone. The device is a girl magnet. No really, never seen anything like it. Would think that statement was hyperbole if I didn’t see myself every day…

    People who think this app is silly just don’t get the power of the iPhone. Go in someplace, doesnt really matter. Girl comes up wants to play with iPhone. Let her, then show her the your Ocarina app, and now are you not only an iPhone owner, but you are also a musician. Only thing left to say is, your place or mine.

  11. Special Ed says:

    Pedro will just have to stick to his weed whacker since he’s not an iPhone owner.

  12. comhcinc says:

    @#10 GregA

    pretending to play ocarina does not a musician make.

    i never needed a gadget to attract the women to me. my wit, manners, and devilish good looks was always enough, but hey use whatever you need right.

    the iphone is pretty need but i am digging the G1 more at this point.

  13. James Hill says:

    #10 – No wonder you’re a virgin.

  14. GregA says:

    #12,

    I don’t have to be a musician;) I have an iPhone. I only need to be good enough to convice the girl;)

  15. Angel H. Wong says:

    This is evidence that Apple caters to the gay consumer.

  16. 888 says:

    Thats right #15 🙂
    and it proves that stupid people will like and buy anything if it has been advertised.

    Why not buy REAL ocarina and learn how to play it instead of faking it on a phone? geez…

  17. jobs says:

    I’ve been playing and teaching Guitar and Bass for over twenty years and still love all the cool instrument apps on my ipod touch.

    My guess is it isn’t the phone or the apps you guys don’t like it’s the Apple logo.

  18. Mr Truther says:

    “My guess is it isn’t the phone or the apps you guys don’t like it’s the Apple logo.”
    yep. that,s it.

  19. QB says:

    I have to agree Mr Truther. Gosh darn it, you really figured us out. It has nothing to do with the video being a putrid piece of crap.
