Yes, indeed, there IS an “app for that”. In this case, “that” means creating a virtual bobble head of yourself or others with your iPhone. It’s called iLoveMe, but don’t let the name fool you. It’s all about having fun.

What does this thing do?
It does just what I mentioned above. It creates a bobble head like interactive animation using the images you provide. Once you have all the images in, you just shake it around and laugh at yourself (or, in my case, the Robosapien).
How does it work?
It’s pretty simple. To create your bobble head, just take three to nine photos. You should have one with your head pretty straight and then two or three (each side) of your head tilted to varying degrees. The more photos you take, the smoother it will be. Take a look at the video of my example below.
Conclusions
I’ll be honest. Having already known that John is a really smart guy, I figured it would be a cool app, so I was already a little biased. After playing with it, though, I really like it. Of course, it’s only $0.99, too, so that helps. The interface is pretty basic, which doesn’t look the best, but simple is good. Besides, the important part is how it works, and that part was perfect. This will be a great app to pull out with friends and make bobble heads of them. The only thing it really needs now is the ability to save multiple image sets.
