Cellular Phone Forum / Providers / ATT Wireless / March 2008How many Smartphones can do this?
Just installed this on my iPhone and was impressed: http://mister.aardvark.googlepages.com/iano Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ycIjt-ykWRo It's a four octave piano that allows up to five keys to be pressed at once. The capacitance touch screen means you don't have to press the keys very hard.

I'm glad they finally found a use for the bricked ones.... >> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ycIjt-ykWRo > > The guitar is better: > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x74rvGzfWYE&feature=related Nah, I have both. Touch screen seems more suited to a keyboard instrument. But people are impressed when I demo the guitar app--no doubt about that.

Did you see the news report about the teenager that has already hacked around Apple's latest, now unsuccessful, attempt at preventing jailbreaking it? iPhone users should be showering him with donations. There still are genius kids on the planet, in spite of government efforts to turn all their brains to mush so they can be controlled. I think it said he was 15 from The Netherlands. >>>> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ycIjt-ykWRo >>> [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > around Apple's latest, now unsuccessful, attempt at preventing > jailbreaking it? I watched it as it happened, he posted it all on his blog: http://iphonejtag.blogspot.com/ Nice kid, and very determined. > iPhone users should be showering him with > donations.

He's 17 or 18 and in the USA. Yep, we can still turn them out! SignatureMike <snip> >> Nah, I have both. Touch screen seems more suited to a keyboard >> instrument.

There is no such thing as a bricked iPhone anymore. They can be completely unbricked via software. > The guitar is better: > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x74rvGzfWYE&feature=related > > Too bad he can't play well. Considering that he has no tactile feedback and he can't actually directly see what he is doing with his fingers from where he is, it is remarkable that he's able to play anything recognizable. -j SignatureJeffrey Goldberg http://www.goldmark.org/jeff/ I rarely read top-posted, over-quoting or HTML postings. http://improve-usenet.org/ >> The guitar is better: >> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x74rvGzfWYE&feature=related [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > -j Check this out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mh0VX74alwk Not as bad as I expected.

Also, it looks like the guitar app could do with a bass guitar option to make it easier to actually play that piece and pieces like it.

IMHO there is no such a thing as a truely bricked iphone. Larry, I'll give any one twenty five dollars cash for each iPhone or iPod Touch that they think is bricked. ;>) > The capacitance touch screen means you don't have to press the keys very > hard. It also means that's about as small as you can make the keys. It's capacitive screen doesn't have much of a stylus resolution like the touch screens do. It's rather coarse...finger coarse. This thing would sell like hotcakes if stupid a.s Apple would simply RELEASE Ipod Touch and Iphone to the hackers, like Nokia did the N800/770/810. But, oh no, they have to FIGHT it tooth and nail to try to prevent the hackers from making something real neat out of it so people would buy it. How stupid, Apple. Of course, that's what kept the Mac from overrunning the Micro$oft in the first place...proprietary bullshit. >> The capacitance touch screen means you don't have to press the keys >> very hard. > > It also means that's about as small as you can make the keys.

The touch screen has much higher resolution than a human finger; much higher (not much different than any other touch screen in that respect). I'll never go back to having to use a stylus with my smartphone. No way. More importantly you don't have to press down like you do when trying to use fingers on a non-capacitance touch screen.
