It was inevitable that sooner or later someone would create a virtual girl that lonely men can download to their iPhones and call their own. Today, the iGirl app (iTunes link) from Resistor Productions debuted in the iTunes Store. After recently passing 15,000 apps and 500 million downloads, what’s left?
The iGirl is a female avatar trapped in your iPhone. You can make her dance or shake, change her clothes, ethnicity, and even what language she speaks. (No, she doesn’t take her clothes off—this is Apple). The app doesn’t exactly rise to the level of a Tamagotchi experience (no virtual care or feeding required). It’s just a dumb app for guys that costs $1.99 a pop. I’m sure it will quickly become a best seller.
If you want to save your money, you can watch a video demo here. Seems like it would get old after the second or third time. A much better app is Wobble, which lets you take a photo and make any body part wobble (NSFW video embedded below). The $0.99 app sold 3,420 copies its first two days in the App Store, according to its developer.
Here are a couple iGirl screenshots:
And here’s the Wobble video (warning: video contains shaking-boobs effect).
I’ll buy one right now. My own private I-Phone slave
basic instinct triumphs.. yeah
I got one already
but http://www.shakemebabies.com has some hot girlies – Amy Reid 
I’m shaking on my Sony k850i and they told me that I can get it on my iPhone next month. I love technology.
May be its the low cost (less than a cup-of-coffee or a beer), that makes people not think before buying such apps. On the other hand it keeps them/their friends entertained for a short time.
you are right on the money Kapil.

Apple should allow adult themed programs. They’d make a fortune.
The possibilities are endless. Porn programs. Casual encounter programs. Location based social network fucking app.
The obvious next step.
Only a question of time.
RULE 34, google it.
come on, like anyone does not know what rule 34 is?
agree with Viktor. everyone knows it.
same here
Location based social network would be a really nice thing to have
Seems like this could sell iPhones. So much functionality packed into such a small piece of software.
Thanks,
Making an entire 3D app in 5.7MB was no trivial task.
The app may be dumb, but if it makes money – the guys who created it are geniuses.
Harold and Kumar movies have their audience and make a decent amount of money, so who cares they are dumb?
Point your iphones to sweetr.net and find a real girl!
Haha, this app is really for people who wants a girl 24/7 with them. I guess she is going to care about us too.
There had been other applications like this too which were banned from App Store like Boobs Simulation on iPhone which was really one of the most downloaded app!(http://www.pickmore.com/mobile/boobs-simulation-on-iphone-83)
Why would you want a virtual girl when you can wobble the boobs on a real one using your iPhone?

If they allowed adult apps they would have to also add a feature to the iphone that would allow you to hide certain apps.
I wouldn’t pay $1.99 for that fat chick.
I would not say she is that fat.
Surely you all have noticed that the iFart fart generator has been one of the most popular purchased iPhone applications for some time now. I think that’s probably more practical than this app is but it is just as stupid.
Am i the only one who actually thinks a more tamagochi-like version of this would be hilarious?
- give her shoes and handbags every now and then
- take her to fance restaurants (gogo geo-location awareness+online restaurant ratings)
- activities like concert, cinema, opera
- call her every day
- she dumps you if you fail to do these things
You can even spin this with a male for women or ….
I know it has this pathetic touch, but do you remember how many games “the Sims” were sold?
I see “iBoy” and “iGirl” comming to the App Store real soon. ^^
Ha – dating for dummies, my iPhone dumped me. Clever.
I’d be scared and curious to see what the most downloaded apps would say about our society.
making a phonecall to something what lives in your phone sounds quite weird for me
the iGirl and iBoobs rock thank you Eric {seesmic_video:{”url_thumbnail”:{”value”:”http://t.seesmic.com/thumbnail/OlZsqvnuiE_th1.jpg”}”title”:{”value”:”the iGirl and iBoobs rock thank you Eric ”}”videoUri”:{”value”:”http://www.seesmic.com/video/I1LuogpD0a”}}}
Wow, whats so bad about posting this?
No need to have a condescending tone about it.
Anyone else having trouble finding Wobble in the App Store?
I need this for…err, research.
Oh, that’s it. Up to you.

lmao
Hey, this is Toby the creator of igirl.
We are working on an iboy type app. We did igirl first because we thought the demographic would be bigger.
Don’t worry, we have not forgotten the ladies
Is that Jemaine from Flight of the Conchords giving that demo??
Hey Nick, please don’t mix kiwis up with Aussies… kiwis can’t play cricket
The bloke in the wobble video even manages some realistic heavy breathing. Sad fecker.
it was the exertion of shaking my phone I swear
Fantastic! My wrist has never felt so supple!
Definitely should release iSlave, in the product suite. Make it chop wood, lift heavy things, etc. Employ the mic so you can shout ethnic slurs to it; shake the iPhone when you want to beat it…
wobble vid: “outstanding.”
lmao.
They should add some AI. SO, it can speaks
UP to You!

well done on filling a gap, that gap being and large gap for lonely little men with lonely little lifes, dont get me wrong im not knocking the app i think its great.
i saw this on http://myfreeip...co.uk/wordpress while looking for iphone games.
I’m getting a little tired of the call for less dumb games on the app store…it was OK when the iphone/touch were pretty much for elitist idiots like myself, but now that everyone is in on the act, we need some apps to help the mouth-breathing iphone owners induce drooling, thus keeping them off the streets.
I’d love to see the look on a woman’s face when they saw you playing that on the bus – haha
I guess it’s time for me to buy an Iphone now
is there a selection of girls in the App? From what I see from the video the girls are pretty neat -
yep. skin colour and hair colour change.
The girl is not very talkative though… Are they going to add more phrases to her vocabulary?
I assume since they already have a 3d world in there there might just be no room for much sound.
There is sound now, and we have a huge plan for sound and voices, it will be available in a few weeks.
I heard that creators of Igirl are insane folks – it’s interesting what is next from them.
On the second thought I wish the girl was based on a real video. Apple would probably reject it ha?!
Who told you I was insane?
Eric and TechCrunch – thank you for sharing this news. Igirl definitely looks like a certain milestone in the history of Apple AppStore. A month ago Iboobs application which is based on a similar idea was rejected by Apple and caused much buzz around. I personally know the CEO of Resistor Productions and should give him a credit for finding a way to brake though in AppStore with boobs App
Wooble is an elegant way of solving ’shaking boobs’ task too. I would just make them shake quicker.
Awesome
Typical stereotype dude software. And left me guessing “Hmm pritty lame do for a 1.99″, “Only for beavis and butheads”, “That is fun next anime like girls”, “OK interresting”, ”Now available for Google phone . Windows mobile and palm”.
This is a yy action for some borning man
Take a look at this…ShakeMe Babies (http://www.shakemebabies.com ) is a mobile game that allows you to Shake or Touch the clothes of of lovely girlies from around the world.
doesn’t seem that you are on Iphone with this
Do you have a video demo for your “shake babies”?
what a horrible program. why not just call it imysgony?
This is why the iBoy will never work. Men are considered human-beings with actual thoughts and needs and stuff, whereas women?
Well, obviously they just need to shake their boobs and be there (or gone) at the touch of a button.
Nice one, world. Way to go.
In order to make an iBoy you have to give that iBoy an iToy
The only major problem with this iGirl is naming. All the girls who owns a mac (or an iPhone / iPod) have been tagging their “me and my laptop” and “my iPhone and I” pictures for ages. Like, since they first ever bought any Apple product.
Nice one

Hey,
I already tried this app on my Iphone…
I wish that girl showed her boobs, uncensored version comming up ?
I guess it’s not something that developers can decide. You should ask Apple.
iBoy may have an iPackage shaking under his pants. Why not?
iBoy 4 iJoy
in love with that app {seesmic_video:{”url_thumbnail”:{”value”:”http://t.seesmic.com/thumbnail/Sj5yeto3oz_th1.jpg”}”title”:{”value”:”in love with that app ”}”videoUri”:{”value”:”http://www.seesmic.com/video/qLKuyiLhIr”}}}
just caught a colleague off guard playing with the app
camera-shy?
Hey everyone. I noticed Igirl application is on sale right now! $0.99 – thought you might find the info useful
