I don’t really understand technology enough to know if this is possible or just a joke, but I understand Things That Look Silly very, very well. So, whether it’s a real ad for an iPhone app that turns your iPhone into a flute-like instrument that you can sit around in a circle with friends blowing into to play Stairway To Heaven or not, this video is still really funny:

The official site sure does make it look real. Ocarina/Smule or whatever: will it replace drum circles on college quads? Because maybe that’s okay. It seems quieter. (Thanks to Alistair for the tip!)

PS: Those people blowing on their iPhones are all your boyfriends and girlfriends.

  1. You probaby don’t have to actually blow on it, they’re just doing that for effect
    And….so, Led Zeppelin doesn’t give their rights to ANYONE…but, iPhone??? Huh….

  2. There’s one iPhone app that gives you a bunch of simple tests to see if you’re too drunk to drive or what not, and blowing your iPhone might be one of them…

    it’s for real, and you don’t need rights to a song to play it on your i-phone flute

  5. You probably do have to blow on it, kinda like the DS games where you blow in to the mic in order to play the harmonica and stuff.
