I wish that I could see exactly what the product looked like. From the clips, I think it might be a little too "juvenile" for my adults and HS students, although the elementary school students would love it. For now, I'm going to stay with SmartMusic and keep looking for an alternative tuner or pitch display. Thanks for all your work on this Amy!

You can read about it at http://www.carryatune.com/products.php?prodid=3 Check it out. Let me know what you think. I can't run it on my Mac, so if someone purchases this software let me know what you think of it. (I may have to use my husbands PC once in a while) **gasp** Good news I found a program that actually looks like it might work better (for singers) it is called Singing Coach.

I've been searching for a similar tuner for PC so far I haven't found one, but I'll keep looking as well.

From what I can determine, the Phonature technology is designed for PDAs and cell phones, not PCs. I'm still searching! Ed, thanks for finding those sites.
