With that said, let’s move on. When I first read that the RIFF app is going to be a guitar app, I sighed and thought that it would be just like every other iPhone guitar app on the market, something that gives you chords or pointers — or both.

RIFF is a little different though. Just by watching the 7 minute demo video, I was intrigued. It lets you play the guitar without actually, you know, playing it. Instead of giving you strings and chords, it gives you 6 rows of buttons to choose from, and you’re able to press the buttons to get the riffs you want (a la piano-style).

So don’t think it’s going to be a total guitar replacement, because it’s not. But it will be something cool to show off a few times and dink around with it.

The website only has the demo video on there, so I’ll just provide the video here. Is it “destined to rock the world”, as their tagline says? You be the judge.

RIFF was submitted to the App Store today, so allow the usual 7-14 days or 5 months for it to be approved.

Toybox has been submitted to the App Store. From their website:

“Toy Box is a 2-dimensional physics playground inside your iPhone or iPod touch. Make anything you can think of, then interact with it onscreen.

• Realistic 2D physics with elastic collisions
• Tilt your device to change gravity
• Create objects by drawing shapes
• Add balls, balloons, wheels and blocks
• Connect everything together with springs, rods, chains, pivots, motors and nails
• Throw things around with your finger
• Save and load your best creations”

From the screenshots, it looks rather original and creative.  I’m curious to see the final result.
