It might sound like a delicious pre-meal platter (vegetable appetizers??) but we’re not talking about food! Big Idea and Personalized Products are working together on the first ever iPhone / iTouch app for VeggeTales, called VeggieTales Just For Me. Amongst other uses, the application allows users to spin Bob the Tomato and Larry the Cucumber into a number of different costumes, select from hundreds of different background images featuring the world of VeggieTales characters, and play the Tuba Game. Sure, you can’t eat it, but… seems just as fun!

Later installments of the app will feature additional languages, such as Mandarin, Japanese, and Hebrew.
