If an iPhone Falls in the Forest

If an iPhone Falls in the Forest

iPhactory says its iPhorest app for iPhone and iPod touch, now on the Apple App Store, is an environmentally conscious app.

The idea apparently took root during the 2009 TED (technology, entertainment, design) Conference. TED started back in 1984, and is often associated with Canadian media mogul Moses Znaimer. To commemorate the development of iPhorest, Ecolife Apparel worked with other groups to plant 2,200 trees–one for each attendee.

The virtual iPhorest tree grows after being nurtured by the user. Once the seedling has been planted, the next screen shows the initial tree sprouted. Shaking the iPhone brings on a rain shower, and when the virtual sun shines, the tree begins to grow–reaching a new stage every day.
Additional trees can be planted in the forest view screen by clicking on a shovel, and you can even send your tree to others by pressing the share button.

There is also a world map of everyone who has downloaded the app, so you can see where other fellow iPhoresters are planting from.
iPhorest is available for $4.99 from Apple’s App Store on iPhone and iPod touch or at www.itunes.com/appstore , or www.iphorest.com/, and www.ecolifeunderwear.com
