iPhone instrument

OK this is really really really dorky but still pretty cool when you think about the implications. Ocarina is an iPhone app that is a music instrument that uses the microphone, multi-touch screen, and the gyroscope to create a flute like sound. 


This is just another example of how the iPhone is truly a revolutionary product. We have Steve Jobs' high standards to thank. Hopefully the rest of the handset manufacturers can catch up (although right now they are just trying to copy what apple has done). I think they will need a significant change in the way they think about hardware and software in order simply catch up. Google's Android mobile OS definitely helps but Apple, with the iPhone, has such a head start that it will be difficult for the Nokias and Motos and HTCs of the world to come out with a device that will leap frog the iPhone
