Pantech kissing into the wind with its IM-S410 "wind recognition" mobile phone

Guitar Hero 4 World Tour – and drum kit! – shown off
The lines are getting more than a little bit blurred out there in the music game world. Developer Harmonix, remember, created Guitar Hero for Activision, before being headhunted to invent Rock Band for MTV and Electronic Arts.
