Hi all,
This might actually be off topic?
I was shown the pocket guitar for iPhone today and it's a delightful little gadget! It makes your iPhone into a (very short) guitar by displaying a section of a fretboard and strings. You can 'fret' the strings and 'pluck' them. There is a bend effect but disappointingly the 'string' doesn't move sideways!
There are some simple effects (distortion, delay, chorus). You can play chords and with the 20 second delay you can play over what you already played. When you 'pluck' a 'string' and turn the iphone through 90 degrees it sounds like you have detuned the string with a vibrato arm. There is a bass guitar also.

I also came across this when looking for the Pocket Guitar info, it actually looks like it might be more useful but I haven't seen it in the flesh as it were -
