Korean app creates a virtual girlfriend (Mina,22)

Nabix, a South Korean applications developer, launched an app called "Honey, it's me!" for iPhone users on November 30. It achieved 80,000 downloads a day during an initial free launch period.There are a number of apps on the market that can make single men feel a little less lonesome, including a night time app that plays the sound of a female sleeping peacefully on the next pillow.But the "Honey, it's me!" application appears to be the first to make video-calls from a virtual model. Mina, 22, video-calls smartphone users three to four times a day for some sweet talk.Her messages range from "Are you still sleeping? Time for breakfast!" to "Good night, sweet dreams".A Korean model posed for the video calls and recorded more than 100 comments to melt the hearts of single men."I've developed this application to console people for their loneliness," said Kim Yoon-Kak, head of Nabix.
