Guitar Sidekick: An iPhone Holder for Your Guitar
Posted in: guitar, iPhone, MP3 Digital Audio, Music, Today's Chili
The line between guitars and tech toys is blurring. You’ve got your Guitar Heroes and your Rock Bands on one end, and then your self-tuning Gibson “Robot” guitar on the other.
In between there are all manner of hybrid products–take the Fingerist, a wooden case that turns your iPhone into a guitar or products like the SoundTech, which offer something akin to Guitar Hero, only with real instruments.
And then there’s this thing. It clips to your guitar’s headstock. It holds your iPhone. Why? Frankly, I think they should pitch it as a way for a John Mayer to tweet crazy things to his fans during blistering light-rock guitar solos.
The manufacturer Castiv, however, is selling it as a way to look at things like guitar notation on your handset while you play. That makes a little more sense–I guess…
The Guitar Sidekick will run you $30. According to its site, the clip works with the iPhone, Zune, the PSP, Blackberrys, and Android handsets–really, it looks like it should work just fine with any moderately-sized handheld device with a big display.
