Phone Guitar

If you think the Motorola DROID solving the Rubik Cube was cool, wait till you see this in action, it is epic. what we have here is a guitar made out of an iPhone, Android phone, and Windows Mobile, with all these phones the creator played some guitar music with sweet precision, never seen before.


He did play on the iPhone majority of the time but who cares? Still epic stuff because playing on an actual guitar is not easy task, yet this guy pulled it off on mobile phones, just stunning. All phones were running some type of music application, he ducked tape the phones to a piece of wood along with a battery powered speaker and off he went jamming the night away.


"I decided to create the same mobile app - a small piano/drum sequencer thing - on 3 mobile platforms: Android, Windows Mobile and iPhone OS. As a developer I didn't quite succeed: audio latency is a b*tch and building the app from the same source proved to be possible but unusable, so I ended up writing it three times: in java for android, in C# for windows mobile and in Objective-C for iPhone... To play them all at once I just taped them on a piece of wood together with a battery powered speaker. Add lots of audio cables and TADAAA: a very playable guitar shaped instrument that makes a hell of a noise... I added Pocket Stompbox, a virtual amp with lots of great real time effects and of course the FANTASTIC iShred app from Frontierdesign."


Now only if I could do that, I'd be a chick magnet with a goatee and a epic mullet to boost.
