About 5 days ago I spotted this vid on Crunchgear featuring an ipod touch drum-kit — apparently I was totally behind the proverbial eight ball as an ‘iband’ pictured above had already garnered 2 million views for their awe-inspiring video with said drum-kit plus other instruments.

In ‘unrelated’ news, this week Apple finally released the SDK which allows developers to make their own software for the ipod touch and iPhone platforms.

Well-timed viral hype anybody?

Of course, cynics will point out that idrummer etc. were out before the SDK, and the video features artists playing on Jailbroken ipods, so of course Apple couldn’t be behind it. However, that still doesn’t explain why/how they went from two ipods and a Nintendo DS to three iPhones in the space of a week.

In any event, I’m pumped that the SDK is out and am seriously considering getting an iPod touch for PDA and Skype duties.
