BoingBoing brings us news of the Futulele from music app developer Amidio. What is a Futulele? Why it’s a ukulele synthesizer that combines an Apple (AAPL) iPad with an iPhone in a dedicated guitar-shaped case. The iPhone is used for chords and the iPad is used for strumming. The iOS devices are connected to each other via Bluetooth.
Amidio says it’s still looking for a hardware partner to build the case, but then there’s an app for that due out in April. Just in time to be one of the first music apps optimized for the iPad 3.

I wonder what Elvis would have thought about Can’t Help Falling In Love being played on an iOS-based jury-rigged Ukulele.
