A Hong Kong company has developed a "virtual girlfriend" for new cell phones with video capability. Artificial Life Inc.'s electronic love interest - sort of a Tamagotchi for adults - will appear as an animated figure on a telephone screen and respond by voice to text messages you send.

Fong said prices have yet to be determined. If she's neglected, "she'll be unhappy and she won't talk to you," Fong added. Calling the game "suitable for all ages," Fong said the game won't allow sexual interaction.
Wouldn't that make her a virtual wife?

I have to admit putting in the swimming pool with a diving board and no ladder to get out and inviting people over was kinda fun, in a mean way.
People dove in and couldn't get out. Eventually they drowned.
My kids sold everything, until they died, and then sold the tombstone.

I have a non-traditional marriage, in many senses of the word...
