Blow on your iPhone

First good frackin’ thing I have seen for the iPhone. This application, like several I have seen for the Nintendo DS, responds to the force of your breath against the device’s mic.

Smule’s new iPhone app, Ocarina turns your iPhone into a fully-functional musical wind instrument. This amazing little application works very much like the real deal, combining touch, tilt, gestures and human breath to create ethereal sounds which bring out your inner Zelda.
