WaveNest Innovations is out with the iPhone app called BabyBuilder, which is apparently the first interactive baby-building application for Apple’s mobile platform. It allows any two people to “get an animated glimpse into what their future or fantasy infant baby might look like.” This is done by using facial mapping and recognition algorithms that generate the realistic-looking babies from digital photos. Mentioned technology focuses on key facial features such as the ears, eyes, nose, mouth and chin as well as the relative distance between those features. Once a photo is created, it can be saved into the photo library or shared with friends via Twitter, Facebook and email.
Moreover, the application goes beyond static photos, allowing you to see your baby randomly producing creepy baby talk, baby puke, or even make noises that might gross out a few. However, it’s worth noting that BabyBuilder is meant to make people laugh and joke, and in that sense you can use it to virtually mix genes with celebrities, athletes, supermodels, rock stars, politicians… you name it…
Finally the price – BabyBuilder could be yours for $1.99. A free, lite version is also available.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
