Google’s Newest Android App, Androidify, Lets You Create Your Own Android Avatar [Hands-On]

Google’s newest Android creation is not a 4-dimensional map or a death ray – it’s much more light-hearted and is aimed at the versatile and passionate Android community. Absolutely quietly and without any fanfare, Google in collaboration with Larva Labs today launched a new Android application called Androidify.
Androidify allows you to create a completely custom Android avatar and then save it as a picture, set as a contact photo, share on twitter or via email, and do pretty much anything else you want with the new mini-you. You can stretch the legs, hands, body, and head to any size, then dress your future best friend into pants, hats, shirts, shoes, etc of your choice, give it a new do, change the skin and hair color, and then save it into your collection.
Here is what I came up with on my first 2 tries:

Those who don’t feel like fiddling with the settings and just want to get a quick start will find the Randomize button very useful. A single press, and you have a brand new, completely random avatar to start customizing. In fact, this button is kind of addicting – once you start pressing it, it’s hard to stop.
Here are some pictures of the creation process as well as more randomness I came up with:
