Bagpipes app busts urban legend
A former Pleasant Point man has proved computer guru Steve Jobs wrong – an iPhone really can be a bagpipe.
It is now urban legend that the Apple co-founder once told an interviewer: "iPhone can really be anything ... except a bagpipe". http://www.stuff.co.nz/timaru-herald...n-be-a-bagpipe

The app doesn't make the iPhone into a bagpipe. It makes it into an electronic device that is played like, and sound like, a bagpipe.
ETA: And no, if it walks like a bagpipe and sounds like a bagpipe, it is not a bagpipe. Nor a duck.

Played like a bagpipe? You have to tuck it under your arm?
 Actually, as the guy talks about his own experience of learning the fingering on the chanter, it seem as though it is played 'something like' a chanter, but sounds like the pipes.

When you play the bagpipe app in the iPhone it doesn't echo. . . and no one knows why.
