RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRROCK!
Nevermind all that expense mobile phone stuff for Xmas, they cost too much, and they are far too complicated! Nah, what you want is a guitar – or a bit of one at least!
I’m talking about the Air Guitar Rockstar, which is what Play.com sent me an email about – I can get one for the princely sum of £7.99 from their site. Here’s the ’411′ about it, as our US editors would say:
It’s time to take playing air guitar and rocking away in your bedroom to the next level. Yes, you too can be the latest guitar hero with this amazing portable – “air guitar”!!!
This is the latest must-have gizmo for all of you wanna-be rock stars, it’s completely portable as it comprises the neck and headstock of an electric guitar, and is programmed with two modes of heavy rocking action.
Mode 1: Strum along on your infra red strings to 8 classic rock songs.
Mode 2: Free play with chords, which you can play both flat and sharp buttons so that you can rock to your hearts content.
Songs include: Wild Thing, Smoke On The Water, I Love Rock ‘n’ Roll, One Vision, I Believe In A Thing Called Love, Take Me Out, Change The World and Venus.
I Believe In A Thing Called Love is one of the great modern rock songs, besides which, it has a KILLER guitar solo
Well I’ve just ordered one to rrrrrrrock out with on Xmas day. You can one from Play.com by clicking here.
Ben is a 10+ year veteran of the Mobile industry – starting his career
when SMS was a still a relatively new concept for most people (!), he has
now consulted on everything from bleeding-edge Mobile content, to the
next-gen accessories you might view it on. As a result he has a broad and deep knowledge in numerous areas of Mobile – from network operators to device vendors, to infrastructure and middleware vendors (not to mention content delivery) – and has worked for companies in all of these areas!
He is based in the UK, a hotbed of activity for mobile, and recently
became a father for the second time – as oppose to in his younger years
when he was happy spend time tweaking all manner of mobile devices to
'nth' degree, he now looks for services and hardware that provide the most efficient, compact, and reliable improvements to his already manic life! It’s his opinion that Mobile solutions should be there to help to make
your life better – if a particular solution (be it service or device)
isn’t doing this, he believes you need to ask the very important question
of why you continue to use it...
His focus at IntoMobile is mainly on Mobile content, services, and
infrastructure, particularly as regards the UK market – and with the
occasional look at devices. Additionally, using his extensive experience
in the industry, he will provide commentary on the industry at large, with
regular (and hopefully thought-provoking) articles.
