Zippo launched today the free Virtual Zippo Lighter App on the Android market. Now Android users can also rock out at a concert and whip out their virtual Zippos rather than the real deal. I still prefer the real deal though.

The Virtual Zippo Lighter opens with a flick of your wrist and lights with a turn of your thumb. The windproof flame sways as you move your Android device and reacts when you try to blow it out. Choose from a variety of Zippo Lighter images and customize a handful of selected lighters as well.

You get 28 FREE designs and can browse hundreds more including iconic images from Harley-Davidson, Bob Marley and classic bands like Kiss and Ozzy Osbourne.

The Zippo Android App is optimized for Droid, EVO 4G and HTC G2. Not sure what this means for other Android phones. I guess that what the Android fragmentation means at the end for Android phone users. Some apps will just not work as great on your Android phone.

You can download the virtual Zippo app for Android now on the Android market here.
