It’s pretty crazy with all the things phones can do these days - browse the Internet, play music, provide directions and navigation, and make calls.  Well here’s another thing to add to that list; brand new from Samsung Mobile Innovator engineers, a software called Caxixi that plays a variety of percussion instruments on your Samsung Windows Mobile phone such as the Samsung Omnia.

The Samsung Caxixi can play around 50 different percussion sounds based on how you move your phone.  For example, whether you shake and move it to the right, it will play one sound, but if you shake and move it to the left it will play another.  Interestingly enough, if you can find several people with the Caxixi program installed on their phones you can start a drum circle.  Basically each member would produce a different sound to get a beat going.  For more on that see the YouTube video below which gives an explanation on Caxixi and how the drum circle works.  In addition, the software comes with a studio in order to record the music you produce. 

Of course, it won’t replace real, physical drums anytime soon but it definitely can provide some entertainment for long road trips, or if you are bored, you can whip out your Caxixi.  The software is free to download on your Samsung Omnia smartphone.
