Sorry to say, but you bought the wrong phone if you're looking for ubiquity in Apps.

Android's playing a very close second though. What's holding it back is how apps are limited by the pathetically small built in memory on the devices... every Android phone needs an SD card to bulk it up. And you can't save them to SD card yet. Will be fixed by the next firmware release though.

However, that's a really cool looking app!

The device should be very early July (I'd say late June but I'm being realistic) and the app should be up as soon as it gets through approval and all that. It really does sound great and the app will have samples to run through it so you can hear it (if you get the free one, for example, before the iRig unit comes out).

Thanks for the kind words, requests (edited to note that I've compiled them - including Android requests), and even for calling me a horse!!!

Cheers Peter for the info. Well, I noticed the recent call for people to test has shut down but if you do want some unbiased opinions before launch you know where to come

That's fantastic, thanks for popping up!

I usually hate anything to do with mobile phones but that looks rather good

I'm not worried. Android's market share has doubled and is growing fast while iPhone actually experiencing negative growth. Apple had the hype machine to get the initial footprint, but following the industry trends I know I made the right choice. More and more professional apps are being dual-released for Android and iPhone lately, plus with it being the only mobile platform that can do Flash, it's only going to get better.

I was made fun of as a student in IT for not getting an MCSE and learning Linux instead, and that paid off as well. Google has always done this, slow to start but then hits big as they constantly improve their products.

Iâ€™m definitely getting one.

Iâ€™ve never liked using laptops with guitars (the keyboard/trackpad interface isnâ€™t right, theyâ€™re too expensive, too big, too complicated) but the iPhone/iPad are perfect: no multi-tasking, touch interface and (compared to a MacBook Pro) cheap.

We've added some more videos, with the iRig adapter attached!

SRV / Texas Rock on iPhone:

Metal amp on iPhone:

70s Vintage amp tone on iPhone:

Nashville country rock on iPhone:

Sick. The three videos other than the metal amp sound pretty awesome - but that's not really my cup of tea anyway. Might not be too easy to operate the wah pedal lol, how have you dealt with that or is it intended as more of a frequency booster?

stop teasing us peter, when is it out in the UK? I'm sold on it already.

i just had a mental image of someone getting carried away and trying to stomp on the fuzz.

*crack*

Peter - IK Multimedia · Sun May 16, 2010 5:49 pm

The app should be out as soon as possible, and you can preorder in the UK for the adapter and it will ship the same time. I'd make sure the app was in the App Store for your country first but that shouldn't be an issue at all. This is cooked and almost ready to come out of the oven.

As far as a stomp box iPhone goes, I did drop and step on mine on a business trip and it was NOT pretty. So I don't recommend getting carried away

How likely is an Android version, out of interest?

There is no development currently, but we're gauging interest on all platforms. An example of this in reverse is the demand we've seen for GrooveMaker on PC/Mac (again, very old school but we didn't expect so much interest) which also caught our attention enough to consider. We'd have to review the requests and the market, but currently we are not developing a version at this time.

When I upgrade my phone in July when my contract is up, this will be the first thing I get.
