Mobie invades your phone
A Mobie (not to confuse with Abiro's Moodies) is a tamagotchi-like application that runs on your phone and senses how you use your phone and reacts on that. Vodafone is the first to introduce this feature.
Whenever the user receives a phone call, an SMS or an MMS message, their Mobie's health and happiness will increase. The more messages and calls received, the more a Mobie can do. New activities will be unlocked and new props and toys will become available.
