Shazam - Sometimes an iPhone application comes along and affirms that there are people out
there with an abundant supply of imagination. Here’s the scenario: Say you’re in your car and a
great song is playing on the radio. You start up Shazam and ask it to “tag” the song. The program
will “listen” to the song and figure out the name of the song, the artist, and where you can
purchase the song on iTunes. Moreover, Shazam will direct you to the YouTube video featuring
the song and other amazing things.

Ocarina – This amazing application converts your iPhone into a real flute that you can play. Just
