Paul, the psychic octopus who predicted World Cup matches with uncanny accuracy, is now an iPhone application.

Paul, an octopus at an aquarium in Oberhausen, Germany, earned worldwide attention during the World Cup with his predictions, which included Spain`s victory in the final against the Netherlands.

The Brazilian software developer behind the programme, uTouchLabs, describes it as a "fun way to randomly choose between two options.”

Cinema or theatre? Skirt of dress? Marcia or Andrea? Ask the Octopus?" it says. The programme costs 99 cents to download from Apple`s iTunes.
