Motorola sponsored a group of researchers to create a phone that allowed people to create music, the KRE-8.  By using sensors and accelerometers, the KRE-8 can figure out how you are holding and orienting the cell phone, and then it will start playing as a guitar, drums, or violin.  This allows you to play your own music and record.  Using the touch screen, you can easily move your fingers around to edit the sound.  Interestingly enough, you can even broadcast your music as you are creating it using the integrated 3G network to other KRE-8 devices.  Other users can choose to add their own beats to your song or just listen to the completed version.  In addition, all completed songs that are stored on the wireless network are geotagged, so people know where the songs are coming from.  The other interesting aspect of the KRE-8 is everything can be performed by touch.  There is, essentially, no need to press any buttons, giving a real-life effect when making music.  Are you sure it’s a cell phone
