Casetop: A cradle display case for your mobile phone

The world of computer users are swiftly moving to mobile phones and tablets since they are packed with powerful processors and healthy amounts of system memory and storage.  A significant drawback or limitation they have is when users want to use them for lots of writing and feel confined by the cramped keyboards or get fed up with one or two finger typing. Similarly, but with some exceptions, many mobile phones lack much in the way of adequate screen real estate.

John Andrus realised he had a solution to these issues by inventing a go-between gadget, he calls a Casetop, which is a netbook-like LCD display panel, keyboard and battery pack combination that uses your smart mobile device for it's computing power.

Casetop is universally compatible with most mobile phones and tablets that have Bluetooth and a video out option, except for windows phones since they don't have a video out port on their devices.

The Bluetooth Electronic Didgeridoo

This is wild news, bluetooth technology has recently been upgraded to meet normal wireless transmission speeds and distances. Kyle Evans timing could not have been better. The video documents a live performance in the Guthman Musical Instrument Competition, wherein the competitors were given five minutes to describe and perform their instrument.

He created the instrument by experimenting with combining the organic sound qualities of a didgeridoo with the advanced signal processing capabilities of modern computer programming and sound synthesis.

More than just a musical instrument and a computer interface, but an entirely new class of instrument. Hey it might seem like playing a wii game except once you start using it your simultaneously Composer and Performer all at once. Heck this must make practice like a rehearsal, every time ?
