I got an email from reader Tony S., who has a friend with a unique problem that needs to be solved:
I have a friend who gives dance classes (line dancing, not lap dancing). As I have raved on and on about the technical merits of the N95, I was asked if the phone could replace her bulky and aging setup. She currently has 10 people in a hall with my friend talking loudly, issuing instructions as well as showing the dance steps, with her stereo boombox playing the music. I said I believe there is a solution where you could play music from a N95 phone left physically connected to a small amp whilst issuing instructions via a Bluetooth microphone, which would pass her voice to the phone and over the top of the music (like Karaoke) giving herself a more slick operation. I have a Motorola SoundPilot S705 Bluetooth Stereo headset controller and searched for suitable software and drawn a blank. I think she needs some sort of Karaoke software and I am hoping it will work with this headset controller.
I personally haven’t heard of a Karaoke application that would work like that for S60 handset, but that doesn’t mean it’s not out there. I imagine it would be quite neat, especially paired with the N95’s TV-Out functionality – you’d have a party-in-a-phone! Anyone got any ideas/links?
Edit: I found Karaoke Gum v1.2 for S60v3 handsets at Karapuzzz, but it doesn’t seem to broadcast your voice through the application unfortunately.
