There are a number of Tamagotchi-style apps for the iPhone out there, but now Tokyo-based Xtone gives us Amamiya Momo, a virtual catgirl girlfriend that lives in your iPhone, speaks to you and expresses emotions (there are English subs for when she speaks Japanese).

You can use the GPS function in your iPhone to let Momo know when you’re home and when you’re out. She will act cuter in the first case and can be quite cold in the latter. Even though Momo doesn’t want to be touched, you can pat her head, touch her cheek and even try to look under her skirt.

Her reaction is not only based on the user’s location but also on the time of the day. Your virtual girlfriend changes her clothes regularly and behaves differently on special occasions like Christmas or Valentine’s Day. Unbelievable. If you shake your iPhone, Momo will react in one of 200 different pre-programmed ways (again, depending on time and location).
