Smule Smiles with $3.9 Million

February 13, 2009, 10:50 AM

One of my favorite apps in the iPhone App Store is Ocarina (iTunes link) by Smule. It turns your iPhone into an electronic wind instrument. The interface is not anything I’ve seen before and it’s just fun—even for a non-musical guy like me. The best thing about it is listening to what other people are playing around the world right now.

So this morning comes news that after selling one million copies of Ocarina, Smule has secured $3.9 million in funding. I’m very happy to see some money come out of such innovation.

Now where’s my million-dollar idea?
