Here's a first: a band that uses two iPhones and a Nintendo DS to create musing, in conjunction with a variety of custom applications (BeatPhone, iAno, etc.). Video after the break.

Engineering students from France have hacked a Pekee Robot and gave it the ability to be controlled using a Nintendo DS. Video after the break.
