Shimon Jams With iPhone App

Writing by Evan Ackerman on Thursday, 10 of December , 2009 at 12:19 am

We posted a video on Monday of Shimon demonstrating his headbanging behavior, but there wasn’t much in the way of the marimba jamming that he’s famous for. The video we have today shows Shimon headbanging away while playing the marimba with all four of his arms along with an iPhone app called ZOOZbeat… If you’re interested in that, there’s a lite version available for free, and the full version is $1.

Robot sold separately.
