The Kazoo did add some buzz to many-a-successful voices but when you talk about expanding its utility beyond, the iKazoo can live up to the name. It arrives with Bluetooth and is compatible with iOS and Android platforms. What seems like a digital flute (and unfailingly functions as one), the innovative game controller also functions as a microphone, a touchpad and a chromatic keyboard. A tap on the touch-sensitive surface creates drum beats while the microphone handles voice recording. Blowing into the flute makes use of a breath synthesizer. Users can play games using the Arduino platform and the iKazoo optical and motion sensors. Those who forget their counts while exercising can use the iKazoo as a step counter.

That’s a lot of things for a small device to handle. Hence the $99 product is bound to get greedy and offer even more. Hence we now have a $150 iKazoo that comes with a cap that doubles up as a motion stylus controller for input on a tablet.
