Can you freestyle on an iPhone? Video Transcript

>> If you want to be invisible, VoIP on the iPhone is a coming, and a hair dryer for your cell phone. Plus Arial Nunez back in the studio.

>> Hello.

>> All that and more on this week's Crave. Okay on, back by popular demand.

>> Mm-hmm.

>> You're back in the studio, dude.

>> I'm sure a lot of people didn't really demand me back.

>> All two emails.

>> Yeah?

>> Seriously.

>> Mm-hmm.

>> Now you know the routine, you're supposed to bring some cool stuff. So -

>> Okay.

>> - what you got for us, Dude?

>> I brought some somewhat cool stuff.

>> I'm ready for it, I'm ready for it.

>> First of all, you know we went to E3.

>> Yeah.

>> And they announced Wii music. You could take the nun chucks and you could play you know, drums, or you could play the fake flute. I don't know, it's just kind of cool.

>> So like playing the fake flue with a Wii mote, like and going doo doo doo, that's cool?

>> I mean I would have fun playing it.

>> You know, that's why to each their own my friend.

>> Yeah.

>> Okay, well what I got, I got an invisibility cloak, how about that? All right? So basically researchers at UC Berkeley, they've developed this material that allows light to be reflected around objects. So you could be invisible.

>> So what would you do in an invisibility cloak?

>> I could have used that when my mom was yelling at me when I was a kid.

>> Uh-huh.

>> I wanted to be Predator, dude. I'd be Predator for Halloween, like dudududu.

>> That'd be cool.

>> Okay yeah, anyways.

>> I got Beat Maker for iPhone.

>> Beat, okay well tell us about it dude.

>> Well basically there's four different settings. You can choose to just kind of jam out on the pads or the sequencer, there's effects, there's all kinds of sounds, you got your kicks, your snares. Basically anyone can make beats. You got an iPhone you can just, it's twenty bucks and then -

>> So I mean you're a music guy, so you know, let's collaborate man.

>> You want to collab?

>> BTZREL collaboration, let's go. I'm gonna see if I can pull this one out. I'm making beats yo, with REL. Where that beats come, oh they come from his celly cell. I say well, I just like steps. What you making beats on, is that Beat Maker app? So what do you think?

>> God.

>> Crave or do not Crave?

>> Crave this, do not crave that. [ laughter ]

>> We also have the VoIP, voice over IP is coming to iPhone. They released an SDK that allows programmers to put you know, VoIP in their programs. So if we were like gaming -

>> Mm-hmm.

>> - we could talk to each other.

>> Wow.

>> Or if we were far away and we wanted to talk to each other without using our minutes.

>> So I could probably make beats, and play them for you through the iPhone, and you could freestyle over them.

>> Dude, that would be hot. I would love that. What?

>> Maybe I shouldn't get VoIP then. [ laughter ]

>> Now we talked about you sending in some submissions for what you thought Apple was coming up with next. But we got some that were cool, but I want you guys to go crazy, balls to the wall. I want you to send us anything.

>> Mm-hmm.

>> Like the most weirdest things, it could be like the iBall, I don't know, I don't care.

>> Oh I like that.

>> I want some cool stuff coming. So send us your emails at DrivingMeCravy@cnet.com, and we will bring them out. And I got some really cool prizes for you, five of them, so I'm telling you to do it.

>> What? What are the prizes?

>> I'm not gonna show them right now, but it's worth it, trust me. The limited edition, I got the hookups.

>> Okay.

>> Okay, all right. Well now you know what's coming up. What time is it?

>> Do not Crave.

>> If you're tired of looking like a fool with your Bluetooth headset stuck in your ear while you're talking to the air, you guys might want to try this one out. It's the cell phone dryer headset. Now this won't add volume to your hair ladies or gents, instead it's being pitched as a product that will let others know you're not talking on a headset. So you're talking in a hair dryer instead. Who decided to green light this product? This is stupid. We got it, three simple words for you. Do not Crave. So yeah, why do people make this stuff?

>> I don't know.

>> I mean would the hair dryer even work with the -

>> I don't use a hair dryer.

>> There's a lot of volume though in it, it looks really nice.

>> Yeah, big bounce.

>> Thanks for you know, thanks for doing it up for the Crave.

>> Yeah, I tried.

>> All right guys. So just remember everything here on our show. Check it out at Crave.cnet.com. Thanks for coming out man.

>> Yeah, no problem man.

>> Take us away with some beats.

>> Okay, I could do that.

>> I probably won't rap.

>> Oh thank you.

>> Okay. ^M00:03:53 [ music ]
