A quote from the article:
“One bizarre application, called Ocarina, even lets people create flute sounds by blowing into their phone’s built-in microphone while touching the screen to select various notes.”
“One extremely cool, must have” application perhaps but not “bizarre.” I hope the author of the article gets turned down for a promotion and a hefty raise because his boss is a chiffer.
ew…maybe you should go talk to 'im…take Walden with ya 
The iCarina. No, I’m sorry. Blowing into your phone IS bizarre.
I like the Harp app better, easier to play while driving. My problem is my wife’s violin app doesn’t really go with the harp app, shouldn’t these things be in tune?
The developer sent me this app to promote. It’s an interesting concept, but as a player I had some difficulty coping with it. I tried playing it, but it just was outside my skill level or something.
Last I heard, iPhone hardware currently can handle at most five concurrent points of contact. The ocarina app uses four. It seems a small hardware step to get to 6 points of contact, and then you have your iPhone whistle app.
I suspect soon - very soon. (then I’ll be forced to actually finally buy an iPhone)
And it would be known as that very bizarre penny-flutey-recorder-thingy application. Rather than SUPERCOOL.
YOU PEOPLE don’t even know when you’re being dissed. Probably don’t even care.
ps. You forgot to take into account the C# when you mentioned the 6 points of contact. Something needs to be done about that too.
No problem with that: Zero points of contact is quite easily coded for in an app. I expect the Ocarina app handles that quite well. Or, code it to be a C# like this (which is how I play it sometimes anyways): OOO XXX
