Boob Wobble Animation Application Approved for Apple iPhone and iPod Touch

GOLD COAST, Queensland, Australia, Jan. 22 /PRNewswire/ — Much to the
delight of iPhoners worldwide, Apple has approved the Wobble animation
application for the iPhone and iPod touch.

Currently available for download at Apple’s iTunes Appstore, this
software, developed by Australia’s Glentwood pty ltd, a private company based
in South East Queensland, provides users the ability to animate any given part
of a photo on the iPhone or iPod touch into true 3D animation driven by the
actual movement of the device.

“Apple recently declined a similar software known as iBoob on the grounds
that it was indecent because that application seemed to be geared toward a
particular part of a woman’s anatomy,” explains Glentwood’s Jon Atherton, but
with over a million views of their YouTube demo video, there appeared to be a
huge demand for wobbling boobs on the iPhone or iPod touch.

Whereas iBoob was developed with seemingly limited scope, the new Wobble
application will allow users to apply “wobbles” to any part of any photo be it
breasts, arms, legs etc. It’s completely up to the user to determine what
they choose to animate, and no images are included in the download.

For only $.99 (USD) iPhone or iPod touch owners can purchase and download
the Wobble application via the iTunes Appstore and a demo is available at
http://chillifresh.com/wobble/ or http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=FWC_R3-qC31

After opening the Wobble application the user can select a photo to
animate and position the round Wobble region overlays onto the photo. Then the
fun begins. Shaking the unit up and down, side to side, or even in a circular
path will cause anything in the chosen region to move as if it was really
reacting to the movement (let your imagination run a little bit here, and you
can see the advantages, and all for under a buck).

Wobble will work on photos either taken by the user, or saved from the
Internet as well as those received via email.

“Begun by the ill-fated iBoobs, and to a lesser degree the iFarts
application, we at Glentwood are surprised by the attention these sorts of
applications are getting,” adds Atherton. With over 5000 copies sold in the
first four days, Wobble is well on the way to being a huge hit. In
comparison, the recent number one hit at the Appstore, iFart, sold around half
that number in their first four days, so could it be that animated parts of a
photo (again it could be a shaking leg or a wobbling – well you get the
picture) appeal more to iPhone and iPod touch users?

The developers are planning a number of new features in coming weeks which
will be released as a free upgrade, including Auto Wobble – a marvelous Hands
Free Kit, which while entertaining, is not recommended for use while driving.

The Northern Hemisphere might be in the middle of winter, but on the Gold
Coast
of Australia the developers of the new Wobble application have been hard
at work building wobbling software. Beta testing the software would clearly
have been an arduous task had it not been for the glorious beach nearby which
provided appealing subject matter! We can assume that testing went swimmingly
well.

Glentwood pty ltd is a small private Australian company based in South
East Queensland
. Glentwood was established in late 2008 to build iPhone and
iPod touch applications. The iPhone platform enables small developers to take
advantage of the massive software sales infrastructure built by Apple.
Glentwood is comprised of a small number of staff and is forecast to have
sales in excess of two million USD for calendar year 2009.
