Since Electroplankton on the Nintendo DS we constantly think about implementing those sounds, and since the iPhone we like to play with PocketGuitar. Now that iAno came out we just had to try this out! As you said in your article: there has to be an iPhone band! It's the next step. And as we're devoted Giz readers we thought we'd give it a shot and sat down to improvise a little and pressed record on that digital camera.

Unfortunately we only have two iPhones, so we dug out that dusty Nintendo DS. But we want to take it further. There are some guys with iPod touches in our neighbourhood, so we'll gather them and add a drumset with the BeatPhone app and a guitar and lose the DS. So you can expect another song in the next weeks.

The iBand works by having users input biographical information into a kiosk, which is then stored in a database with an ID number. When two iBand users meet and shake hands, IR sensors in the wrist bands exchange information. Following the conversation, if you've forgotten the name and contact information of the other party, a simple glance at the iBand reminds you what the deal is. Since it's only a prototype, it can't be purchased quite yet, if ever. I wonder what would happen if the iBand made an embarrassing identification mistake? – Nicholas Deleon
