Why are we so excited?...Because if you already have an iPhone or an iPod Touch, & you love & care for a little one, you dont have to invest in other hardware like Leap Frog Systems or Toy Laptops. Instead you can buy educational Apps for your device & have it ANYWHERE you are! Many Mom & Dads already know the power of the iPhone & "iTouch"; entertaining themselves with Flight Control, iShoot, or Bejeweled, keeping audio notes with Apps like Recorder, making kids laugh with iSwap Faces, or reading the news on Apps like NYTimes, WSJ, AP Mobile News, or CNN RSS Reader...& many Parents are discovering a wealth of applications for kids that both educate & entertain them.
