ocarina.

there are several great features for the iphone which give it that extra bit of oomph regular phones just don't have.

the decisive application for me is the smule ocarina. created at stanford university (which actually has the most beautiful campus on this planet; if you're ever in the bay area in cali, pay it a visit. i used to go skateboarding there when i lived in palo alto...) center for computer research in music and acoustics (ccrma) the program transforms your iphone into a flute: you just blow into the microphone and "cover" the virtual holes to alter the flow of air and, thus, the tone, and out comes music. genious!
