Insane iPod touch Guitar!
Brian Green, who’s always coming up with strange and bent electronic music gadgets, put together this iPod touch guitar and demos it in this video.
Green explains:
Its something i basically did for fun, its not something i would use live and i don’t use the guitar in a normal sense for my music so it really would serve me no purpose.
Ok the main the i would like to clear up is NO NO NO i did not glue the itouch(s) to my guitar, there were several blogs that did a post about this and it seemed like one of the first ones that did said that i glued them to my guitar, this is false.
I seemed to get a lot of hate for the fact that i “glued ipods” to my guitar and that it was a dumb idea and so on bla bla bla, well i mean the whole idea of it was kinda a joke to begin with but my point of doing it was to do something inovative, i got the idea to try it after i seen a guy who added a guitar hero neck to a real guitar and then i made this.
Green’s iPod touch guitar appears to be more of a mashup than an instrument per se.

Free WiFi For iPhones, Laptops
AT&T hotspots are now offering free Wi-Fi access to iPhone users.
Barnes and Noble, Starbucks and presumably all of AT&T’s 71,000 hotspots are now offering iPhone users a custom portal to access free Wi-Fi. A special iPhone formatted page asks for your mobile phone number. Once entered, you can access the Wi-Fi access for free.
MacRumors has been able to confirm this finding at a local Barnes and Noble. Blurry photo provided:
AT&T recently partnered with Starbucks (displacing T-Mobile) to provide Wi-Fi access to Starbucks’ 7000 stores nationwide. This partnership allowed existing AT&T broadband customers free access and AT&T promised that it would “soon extend the benefits of Wi-Fi at Starbucks to its wireless customers”, but no official announcement has yet been made
Even better – this functionality is based on the iPhone’s user agent – which is easily imitated with the browser on your computer. This could be a nice bonus for musicians that have invested in Apple iPhones – and anybody that’s a bit of a geek.
We haven’t had a chance to give this a try yet. If you’re at one of AT&T’s 71,000 hotspots, give this a try and let us know how it works!
