The company called Spoonjack recently launched iBone – the so called “Pocket Trombone for iPhone and iPod Touch.” The application allows users to play-a-long with music from their iTunes library, and also with songs from the iBone Songbook.
Here’s how it works:
- Touch the display or blow into the microphone to produce a sound.
- Slide fingers to change pitch.
- Raise and lower the bell to change volume.
As for the mentioned Songbook, it features a selection of traditional and classical favorites such as Air (on a G String) with Guitar, Aura Lee with Piano, Greensleeves with Accordion, and Ride of the Valkyries with Orchestra; and also shows user where to press in real-time — so even the novice can play.
iBone is definitely a fun app, it costs 3 bucks ($2.99), and you can grab it from here. (iTunes link)

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
