The most amazing piece of software

I just downloaded Shazam onto the iPhone. I’ve said this before – I spent most of my adult life in a very high tech environment, but…. this is gob-smacking. I expect it’s relatively simple to implement, but the effect it has on the end user has to be taken into account.

There’s a song on the radio that you don’t know. Kick off this program, hold the phone to the radio until it vibrates and then wait a couple of seconds and the phone tells you the song, the artist, the album it’s on, and what the writer had for tea the day he/she wrote the song.

Just amazing.

PS – I lied about the tea thing.
