As complaints about South Africa's vuvuzela trumpets roll in, lovers of the metre-long plastic horns can now blast them from cell phones.
Dutch designers moblio have released a Vuvuzela 2010 app on Apple’s iTunes music store.
Their website says they have had 750,000 downloads of the application that lets users blow the horn by touching an image of it on their screen.
One user comment called it “so stupid, it’s awesome”.
Some players and television viewers have complained about the din created by the vuvuzelas in the stadiums, but FIFA has insisted that fans will not be stopped from blowing the horns that have already come to symbolise the tournament in South Africa.
