According to the press release iOki is the " first true karaoke experience for iPhone and iPod Touch", Created by gribMob, iOKi lets users purchase karaoke fodder directly within the application making the company the first to have a karaoke-track store for iPhone and iPod Touch. gridMOB has licensed deals in place with EMI, Disney, Sony, and Universal Music Group, just to name a few. These partnerships ensure that iOki users will have a rich catalog of music to sing over when they're in the mood to sing badly or loudly over their favorite songs. Users can search for track in a number of ways including artist, title, genre, gender, or era.

Available in English, Korean, Chinese, and Japanese, the Lady Gaga iOki will be available in the iTunes app store for $4.99. Don't be surprised to see iOki apps featuring more of your favorite music artists. As the music industry and artists take more control of their brand this is a great way to get music into the hands of people that normally might not listen to their music as well as rabid fans. I have a question though. Does this mean that people will be randomly breaking out into song in highly inappropriate places?
