ShakyPlanet, the iPhone application that lets users collect nifty little eCollectibles called ShakyGlobes, has added a new one to the mix. It has put together a very limited ShakyGlobe in celebration of Alex Rodriguez’s 600th home run. The “600th Home Run” eCollectible is available today from the ShakyPlanet app for free, but only to the first 600 people to download it.

“AROD finally did it… home run #600! Now – whether you’re a fan or not – you can commemorate this historic event with an exclusive, limited edition FREE “600th Home Run” ShakyGlobe. To grab this one-of-a-kind eCollectible, exclusively for your iPhone or iPod Touch, simply download the ShakyPlanet App (where all your ShakyGlobes live) from the iTunes App Store and get the “600th Home Run” ShakyGlobe in the ShakyStore. These ShakyGlobes are limited to 600 (of course).”
ShakyGlobes are basically the digital version of snowglobes that many people enjoy collecting or decorating their homes with. Just like the originals, the graphics inside many of the ShakyGlobes offer the floating “snow,” confetti and other objects when you shake your device. Unlike those versions, ShakyGlobes actually offer some neat designs — like Lady Robotika, Comic Con San Diego and AROD’s limited edition — and offers a little audio, like water sounds sloshing around.

Users can collect/buy different styles within the app or share them with friends. Some globes are only available when you travel to a certain place (the device’s GPS or cell triangulation will know where you are!), and others can be purchased during limited times.
This one, the “600th Home Run” ShakyGlobe, also features audio of a stadium crowd cheering, which is actually kind of fun and nice to have when you need a pick-me-up. Really though, if you don’t like snowglobes, this probably isn’t your thing. But if you do (and you’re a baseball fan), you’ll want to get in on this offer right away. Not only will the promotion eventually end, but like other ShakyGlobes, it will eventually get pulled from the digital shelves.
