The iPiano is a concept design for Apple addicts. This futuristic looking keyboard is simply a design to show what a piano would look like if Apple decided to make musical instruments.
With built-in musical scores, you would only have to slide your finger across the screen to turn the page of music.
I wonder if Apple will eventually turn to creating musical instruments, because I really want one of these iPianos!
Implications - The iPiano would definitely provide some serious incentive for people to learn how to play instruments. Young children and students would relish in the touch-and-play qualities; music class may no longer be that dreaded period at school after all!
