New apps for Apple iPhone, iPod touch offer accelerometer-based iBoob workaround (with video)
Friday, January 16, 2009 - 02:16 PM EDT

Following Apple's rejection of "iBoob" from the iTunes App Store for iPhone and iPod touch, two important new apps for iPhone and iPod touch have appeared in Apple iTunes App Store: Wobble and iJiggles. Marvel at the technological breakthroughs each app offers:

MacDailyNews Warning: Depending on where you work, the following videos may not be suitable for work!

Wobble:


Wobble is available via Apple's iTunes App Store (99-cents) here: Wobble

iJiggles:


iJiggles is available via Apple's iTunes App Store (99-cents) here:ImageToys: iJiggles

MacDailyNews Take: We find it entirely apropos that these two apps are virtual twins.

Stupid. Come on. How many 12 years olds actually own an iPhone? 15,002 apps, 6 or 7 that are useful.

Pure Genius!

Can somebody loan me a dollar?

I'll let you touch my...phone.

Here are the next developers made millionaires by the App Store!

@Grigori

Actually I think they're sisters.

Jan 16, 09 - 03:40 pm Comment from: HolyMackerel

A bloody Aussie created Wobble - who would have thought. Sandy beaches, sunny weather, pretty girls - makes me homesick.

@HMCIV

Well, I hope the fact that they're involved in competing iPhone apps hasn't caused any family rifts.

Damn Websense.

Interesting that I find two bouncing, fatty appendages to a female to be appealing but I find three of them revulting.

Ah, technology!

This is the new post-Steve Jobs Apple.

iBoob was rejected, but as soon as Steve goes on leave, Wobble and iJiggles are added to the App Store.

I guess, "While the cat is away, the mice will play."

Have fun! cheese

And then there is the guy who applied this action to some family photos.....Mom, Sister A (24 years old), teenage Sister B (13 years old) and weird Uncle Howard....different area of jiggling for Uncle Howard....

And don't forget..
"Hey, Mrs. Johnston, my favorite teacher, want to see my photo of you I have on my iPhone? Watch me shake it...."

So the guy in RoboCop really could buy this for a dollar.

Jan 16, 09 - 04:27 pm Comment from: MacintoshSoftwareList.com

Whatever sells I guess.

Jan 16, 09 - 04:35 pm Comment from: Always Right

Time it takes for these two to decide to quit their day jobs?

1-2 weeks.
Just watch.

Jan 16, 09 - 04:57 pm Comment from: Applerocks1963

What, no butt cheek wobblies?

Jan 16, 09 - 06:58 pm Comment from: Sixvodkas

On Ballmer's secret iPhone, he uses a self portrait.

Jan 16, 09 - 07:39 pm Comment from: Bizlaw

Do you guys have any idea how much money these app developers are going to make? Career change, here they come!

Jan 16, 09 - 09:23 pm Comment from: Cubert

@Applerocks1963,

You just gave me an idea.......

Works very well with any part of the body, try it on the Hoff, or any of the other subjects found here wink

Glad you like our work - updates to follow...

About bloody time...what's that they say about necessity being the mother of invention? This is an absolutely necessary app to have.

Just the thing I need on all those nights Hilary will be in the Capitol building.

Jan 17, 09 - 03:09 pm Comment from: MrScrith

Probably the reason they got through the filter and iBoobs didn't is because iBoobs specifically used a 3D rendering, whereas these two apps use any photo on your iPhone.

A gray area where one is specific and the other two are general but can be used for the same purpose. smile

A new demo video shows it working on other parts of the body:
