"Now you can carry a digital version of Alvin from Alvin and the Chipmunks in your pocket. \nA new app for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch called \u201CiMunk: Alvin and the Chipmunks\u201D hit the App Store Monday. It allows you to interact with the squirrel-like creature, have him play guitar, dance for you or do flips on the screen. \nAlvin will also listen to what you say to him and repeat it back in his signature chipmunk voice.\nMonday's release only allows you to interact with Alvin, but future updates will also allow you to play as Simon or Theodore. Currently, functionality is pretty limited within the app. Bagdasarian Productions, the company behind its creation, has plans for future updates that will expand what you're able to do with it.\nThese plans include adding the ability to record your own chipmunk antics and share them on Facebook, Twitter and YouTube, as well as converting those recordings into ringtones and voicemail notifications. \nA Chipettes App, featuring Brittany and the Chipettes, is also slated for release later this year.\nAlvin and the Chipmunks is currently one of the most successful family film franchises. The film generated more than $1 billion at the box office, and half a billion in DVD sales over the past four years with its three films: Alvin and The Chipmunks, Alvin and The Chipmunks: The Squeakquel, and Alvin and The Chipmunks: Chipwrecked.\niMunk: Alvin and The Chipmunks is available now from the App Store for $1.99. \nAre you an Alvin and the Chipmunks fan? What do you think about the new app? Let us know what features you'd like to see added in the comments.\n"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
