Need a Little More Lipstick? Flip your Cellphone into a Mirror



Your cellphone mirror


Yep, you’re reading right.  The cellphone screen morphs into a mirror so that you can easily survey  any fading to your face, or spy on those so-called friends gossiping behind your back. 
Whoa, I thought.  What other weird apps have they dreamed up lately?

Lots.  There’s even one for lonely men.
Korean programmers created Mina, a twenty-something model, who appears on the screen armed with a hundred pre-recorded messages that she delivers in regular intervals,
                                   
Sweet "Mina"
 “Are you still sleeping?” “Good night, sweet dreams,” or “time for breakfast.”

On the other end of the fantasy are the naked women.  Remember those novelty pens that flashed a picture of a lady inside the barrel who would magically undress when the pen was tipped?   Well this is the iphone, ipod version.  (see picture).



And today there’s even an “ibeer”—a virtual glass filled with the ice-cold beverage complete with tempting bubbles that float across the screen.   Tilt your phone for a more dramatic effect. 


And how about those who skip the virtual beer, but guzzle the real stuff?  You’ll need an “iDrunkTxt” app right away.  This makes  it easy to send messages when you’re slightly intoxicated.  Some of your messages might wind up grammatical nightmares, but your friends will still love you and more important, they'll get your text.
Ever desire an app to pop pimples?   Come on, you remember when you were a teen, and you stood in front of the mirror squeezing those things down the drain?  Well now they got the "Pimple Popper," which allows you to spurt pimples across your mobile screen and watch while they burst off the sides and out of sight.

Maybe you're thinking something more dramatic?  How about a mosquito killer?  Your phone not only attacks those raging insects but becomes a fly and insect repellent too.  Radiating electromagnetic waves, it obliterates those annoying bugs in mid-air.

What will they think of next? I wonder, gratified that there’s so much out there to keep us happy, and even indulge in our desires. 
Personally, all I need is the mirror, but on second thought, once I get my lip liner squared, I’m gonna kill those friggin’ bugs.

  1. Loved your compilation of interesting Apps, as well as your commentary.

    The only helpful addition I can make is: if you activate your CAMERA on most cellphones, you can reverse the focus from wihom or what you're facing to show your own face. That also functions as a mirror. Try it and let me know.
