Ge Wang, co-founder of Smule, plays The Legend of Zelda theme song on an iPhone using the expressive social media app Ocarina.
Viewers' reactions: The majority of comments were positive and people seemed impressed that Ge Wang played “The Legend Of Zelda” theme song and Led Zepplin using the app, Ocarina. Comments ranged from “This is amazing” to “One of the funniest apps ever”, showing that this app is quite popular.
Why I liked it: I like this iPhone app and this video, as the idea is so simple yet extraordinary. The creator, Ge Wang, has created an app which executes the natural, simple sound of an old wind instrument, known as the ocarina, through an iPhone. The demonstration is as informative as it is entertaining. I like the whole concept of being able to produce such a simple sound from such an advanced piece of technology. This app also shows how advanced mobile phones have become,they are now used for far more than communication.
