Clap Lamp Deluxe - Make Your iPhone "The Clapper"
May 16, 2009
Remember "The Clapper"? That goofy device from those awful television commercials? Now you can make your iPhone or iPod touch operate just like that crazy old thing with a new application called Clap Lamp Deluxe.
Developer Maplewoods Associates already offers a slimmed down version of Clap Lamp, which is actually currently on sale, but it just can't compete with the features that are included in the new Deluxe version.
Clap Lamp Deluxe features the ability to turn your iPhone into a lamp with a simple clap of your hands, but that's not all. Clap Lamp Deluxe offers all types of different lights, including lamps, bulbs, and backgrounds, that can be turned on or off with a single clap of your hands. The application isn't only a light, you can also set it to display the time so you can use it as a bedside clock, and it even has the ability to display the current weather and this week's forecast. The application can also put your device into sleep mode with a single clap.
Clap Lamp Deluxe uses the iPhone's microphone, but iPod touch users aren't in the dark, so to speak, because you can also use an external microphone attachment with your second generation iPod touch to make it just as capable.
Clap Lamp Deluxe is now available at the App Store for $1.99.
Just for the fun of it, we have embedded one of the original television commercials for "The Clapper" below. Just be warned, that annoying little jingle may be stuck in your head for quite some time after viewing.
