Futulele Turns Your iPad and iPhone Into a Ukulele [VIDEO]

We’ve seen many gadgets that turn an iPad or an iPhone into a musical instrument or accessory, but we haven’t seen one that takes both these devices and connects them together to create a ukulele – until now.

The Futulele can work solely as an iPad app, but it can also come with a guitar-shaped case that holds both an iPad and an iPhone. The two devices are connected via Bluetooth; the iPhone is used for holding the chords and the iPad for strumming the virtual strings.

App creator Amidio claims you can use up to 12 chords for each song, and change chord sets on the fly. You can also record and share music through the company’s other app, OMGuitar.

Is it better than a real ukulele? No, nothing is better than a real ukulele. But it’s definitely one of the awesomest gadgets we’ve seen. If you need app/gadget to show off the capabilities of the iPad and iPhone to your friends, this one will definitely cause the most laughs.

Unfortunately, the device you’ve seen in the video above is just a prototype: Amidio is currently looking for manufacturers willing to produce Futulele cases. If you fit that description, you can contact them here.
