Btw, if any HN readers want a copy, let me know your UUID (here or at vibetogether.com). Latest version also vibrates phones, so you can use it w/o an OhMiBod.

How are you controlling the OhMiBod while also having a phone call? I'm a little rusty on iOS AudioSessions - were you able to route the phone call audio to the iPhone speaker, while sending control audio signals through the headphone port to the OhMiBod?
justinwi
The OhMiBod runs off audio signals, but it doesn't require both audio channels to operate so I send the audio signal from the app through one channel (i.e. the right speaker) while the phone conversation runs through both. To have a conversation that doesn't include the clicking sound I generate to pulse the vibrator, you just listen in on the left headphone.

Now, that means the conversation is also driving the vibration, but that can be fun too. :)
