Because there are so many applications fighting for attention, the key to creating a good promotional application is to build in something special that gets people talking.
Yesterday, Smule launched its I Am T-Pain [iTunes link] application which promises to do just that. The application lets you sing along to tracks by hip-hop artist T-Pain, complete with Auto-Tune technology. But wait, I thought Jay-Z said Auto-Tune was D.O.A? Not on the iPhone.
Check out the app in action in the video below:
Seriously, how cool is that? Do you have any idea how many hours I could waste getting my mom to sing Auto-Tuned hip-hop? The best part is, after you record your songs (using built-in tunes or your own freestyle tracks), you can share them on Facebook or MySpace. Additional tracks will be available for purchase through the app in the future.
