If you liked the last midomi, then the new upgrade Midomi Ultra will rock your world. Whatever Sound2Sound Search Science is, it’s a blazer. The music ID can be 5-10 seconds versus 15+ for shaazam. UI is a big leap. Waddya think?

Uh huh, sure Mike! I bet you have a secret love of karaoke that is overpowered by your fear of sounding like a retarded monkey singing out of it’s nose. No?

Come on, what is your secret account name on SingSnap.com?

This sounds like a lot of fun… I just might have to break my contract with Verizon.

I use pocket guitar. Which is quite amazing. Playing a C7 chord requires 4 fingers on the left hand and a one finger strum with the right hand. this app makes me very impressed with the multi-touch screen. but sometimes i wish my iphone were 4 times as long.

there is a band called iBand on Youtube that amused me quite a lot. as a musician, you really really could jam while on a bus or in a cafe, using iphones.

shazam is, i reckon, older. It was a phone service in the UK, and I was holding it up to ghetto blasters back in 2003.

don’t fart on your iphone!

I just farted into my iPhone and Midomi spat out “Heart of Stone” by Cher. Go figure.

Hmmm, I tried singing “New Damage” by Soundgarden–admittedly a tough task, but no results. Then I tried twice the “say it” feature and said “New Damage by Soundgarden” — it was not in the results. This is disheartening because the song I’m really trying to find after all these years is some grunge tune that sounds like it could have been Soundgarden. Of course the results for my five singing attempts for that one were not successful, although the song “My December” by Linkin Park was listed, and it does have a very similar melody. But the song I’m looking for was on the radio in the early to mid 90’s. I REALLY WANT TO FIND IT!!!

So, does this mean you’re gonna man up and join us one night at the Boxcar? Instead of getting shown up by your girlfriend like last time? OHYESIWENTTHERE.

Maybe I’m unusual, but I use a ton of 3rd-party apps. I have 78 total apps installed, but my top finds are:

Facebook and Tweetie, for staying in touch
Google and Wikipanion for searching
Shozu for uploading to Flickr, and Photoswap for killing time,
Bix, Frenzic and Collapse for games

I’m liking Brightkite, but I don’t know how much I’ll use it, and the Amazon app is killer during the holiday season when I can use it to track shipments on the go.

I love Fieldrunners and Ocarina. My usage patterns for iPhone apps hover around Twitterific, Facebook, and copies of Sherlock Holmes novels, but I use those two for fun, mostly Fieldrunners ( a tower strategy game) which is like crack especially since the last update which added sound and a new map.

I have used Shazam and like it. I will have to download Midomi and try it out.

My MUST HAVE app for the iPhone has turned out to be Stanza. I love to read, usually read at night and have always bugged mt wife with a light on after she wanted to go to sleep. With stanza, I can convert books from tons of formats and read them on my device. Stanza also has a reverse colors function so when I turn down the brightness, the white text on black is just bright enough and doesn’t strain my eyes. I use it every day and don’t know what I am going to do when I can’t find a book in digital format and actually have to go back to paper.

I agree with you Mike. And the Apple commercials always piss me off because I am like Midomi was there before Shazam (I think) – either way – I used Midomi before I knew about Shazam.

Holy crap, we just tested it out. It’s like a full-fledged Karaoke toy – it lets you have fans and stuff, and the top results are always like really really good.

Anyone else find that Chili Peppers’ “Other Side” seems to be in the top hits no matter what you sing/hum? ;)
