<p>Smule and I am T-Pain [$2.99 - <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=314652382&#038;mt=8">iTunes link</a>] are bringing Auto-Tune to the iPhone. Or, more sarcastically, want an easy way to simulate what karaoke sounds like over a really bad phone connection? There&#8217;s an app for that! </p>

<p>We kid. (Not really, we&#8217;re just old). Okay, everyone who cringes at the mere thought of this app, be it  caused by flashbacks of Cher, Kanye, or the titular T-Pain himself, stop reading now. Everyone else? <a href="http://mashable.com/2009/09/04/iphone-auto-tune/">Mashable</a> has the details:</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>Seriously, how cool is that? Do you have any idea how many hours I could waste getting my mom to sing Auto-Tuned hip-hop? The best part is, after you record your songs (using built-in tunes or your own freestyle tracks), you can share them on Facebook or MySpace. Additional tracks will be available for purchase through the app in the future.</p>
</blockquote>

<p>Yo, check it. This is for realz. Smash bomb. You&#8217;ll sound dope. Cash money bank! Get it or regret it, you know what they saying?</p>

<p>(Congrats on the new gig, Christina!)</p>
