Nice post (and comments) on kids and the iPhone / iPod Touch.

The kids definitely seem to prefer Apple’s devices over the Nintendo DS and Sony PSP.

I’m also making note of graham’s recommendation for an educational app for the kids:

An iPhone kids application you should check out is iStoryTime. It’s a library of narrated and illustrated kids books for the iPhone. There are 6 books available in the Apple AppStore today: http://www.istorytimeapp.com/appstore With new ones coming out every week.

Great for driving in the car, on the airplane, or at a restaurant waiting for the bill when the kids are going crazy.

Books are $1.99/ea from iTunes and can also be purchased on your phone from anywhere. Great for entertaining the kids in a guilt free way. All the wholesomeness of a book with the convenience of your phone.

Enjoy!
