Here's a nifty new application you can try out on your favorite Apple gadget: mister aardvark's virtual piano application entitled iAno. Compatible with the latest 1.1.3 firmware from Apple for both the iPhone and iPod Touch, it features a complete four octave keyboard with realistic sounds samples to tickle your musical fancy.

Here's a list of features that the iAno sports:

• A complete four octave keyboard.
• Multi-touch. Up to 5 keys can be pressed at once allowing complex chords.
• Sounds like a real piano with realistic piano multi-samples.
• Animated piano keys react to your touch.
• Play along to all your MP3s.
• On-screen keyboard navigation allows you to easily move up and down by octaves or "part octaves" (ie. left-most key is a C or an F).

To install iAno on your Apple device, make sure to enter the following URL repository to your Installer.app: "http://modmyifone/installer.xml". The program should then appear under the "Toys" section of the installer.

The developer still has a couple of additions in store for iAno's future updates, such as a navigation bar which extends the keyboard based on various octaves, a record and playback option, and much more.
