Portable avatar service and virtual world WeeWorld has launched WeeMee Avatar Creator, a new application for the iPhone and iPod Touch that allows users to create and display customized WeeMee avatars on their handset.

More than 33 million users have registered to create WeeMees since the service launched in 2002. Those members can customize different clothes, accessories, hobbies and more for their avatars, and then bring those characters into social networks, blogging sites, instant messaging platforms, email signatures, mobile phones, and more due to WeeWorld's open platform.

Developed in conjunction with Toronto studio Smallmedium, the iPhone app features a built in WeeMee editor to create, edit, and save avatars. They can use then assign those WeeMees as visual caller ID images for their friends through the embedded address book. They can also save WeeMees to the Photos app and use as wallpapers, send through email, or use on services like Facebook and Twitter.

"Now Apple iPhone and iPod touch users have the opportunity to be creative and have fun making digital identities for themselves and their friends," says WeeWorld COO Lauren Bigelow. "We already have 33 million people around the globe who are passionate about their WeeMees, and we are thrilled to welcome the iPhone and iPod touch users to that community."
