The iPhone or iPod Touch has been known to deliver music but with the release of the TabToolkit, you can learn and make beautiful music just as you would using a guitar. The app comes from Agile Partners, the same people who released GuitarToolkit. The TabToolkit is the first guitar tablature player for use on iPhones and the iPod Touch aimed at musicians.

The TabToolkit includes a synthesizer engine, tempo playback controls and an easy-to-use tab upload and download manager. The app is available for download at the iTunes App Store for $9.99.

Here is a different kind of way to promote a cause. Cancer is certainly one of the most dreaded diseases we can ever come in contact with and to help promote the efforts of Pioneers for a cure, what better way to do it other than through songs from people who care in the music industry?

That is the intent of this new app for the iPhone, “Songs to Fight Cancer”. This app promises to deliver revived pioneer tunes for a fund raising initiative where each downloaded song is a point scored for cancer related care, treatment and research.

Embedded within the current 1.1 version of the iPhone App is a collective sing-a-long of 40 participating musicians mixed by the legendary Bob Clearmountain. From within the App itself, users can learn about the project, listen to streaming music previews, share information with others and connect to the Pioneers For a Cure website to make donations.

Bands and instrument playing artists are going to love this new app for the iPhone. The need to make sure that your guitar or any stringed instrument that needs tuning just got a big lift as the ToneTuner v1.1 for the iPhone can assist you.

ToneTune is a multiple tuning fork that helps you tune the strings on your stringed instrument to the correct pitch by ear without searching through hard-to-find books or the web. Simply select your instrument and tuning, and tap the graphic to get the right pitch for each string. It can even play all the notes in sequence, as many times as you like.

Musicians now for a fact that they have to make sure that their instruments are in sync. Especially for the frequently performing music artists, having the iPhone as a device to make sure you properly tune it will definitely make a difference.
