As a kid who grew up in the 90's, I spent a lot of my free time watching cartoons on Nickelodeon. I'm not too familiar with the stuff that's on now, but I know there was some really good shows on back then like Doug, Rugrats and Hey Arnold!
So you can imagine how excited I was when I came across the Nickelodeon Animation Showcase promotion in iTunes this afternoon. Apparently, Apple has made a deal with the network to offer episodes from some of the 90's TV shows for free...
We are now on day 4 of Apple’s 12 Days of Gifts event, meaning Apple has removed the Lonely Planet iBook and has posted a new free item for download. Today’s gift is a popular educational game for children called Toca House.
Parents love Toca House because it allows their children (intended for ages 2-6) to virtually participate in everyday household chores like doing the dishes, ironing, and planting flowers in the garden through various mini-games...
Following a series of changes made to its iTunes terms and conditions and App Store Review guidelines, Apple has this afternoon emailed developers with additional details regarding the new 'Kids' section in the App Store.
The email describes the new category as a place where parents can go on the App Store to find age-appropriate apps and games for children. It also breaks down the new age groups for the section and offers additional details...
We're not sure if this is cool, or copyright infringement, but either way here you go. We've come across what appears to be a toy iPhone, that has seemingly been jailbroken. Notice the Cydia icon in the bottom row of icons?
Of course, it's not called an iPhone. The packaging reads 'Telephone Intelligent.' And instead of Cydia, the iconic brown icon is labeled 'Gift.' But either way, it sure looks like someone is selling toy jailbroken iPhones...
CES didn't officially start until today, but we've already seen a plethora of new mobile products and accessories. We've told you about smart watches and smart forks, and even smart automobiles. And now we have something for the kids.
Crayola, easily one of the most recognizable names in art supplies, has teamed up with iOS appendage-maker Griffin to create the Light Marker, a marker-shaped stylus that can draw on an iPad without having to touch the screen...
One of the great things about the iPad is the fact that it's so easy to use, a toddler could use it. In fact, they do use it. Recent studies show that roughly 40% of children ages 2-4 have used an iPad or similar device.
But unless you want to put the fate of your $500 tablet in the hands of a two-year old, you better put a case on it. Unfortunately, there's not a whole lot of choices out there that are kid-friendly. Enter the iKid...
There are good ideas in this world, and then there are bad ideas. Giving your $650 iPhone to a young child has to rank amongst one of the worst ideas we've heard of for a long while, but that's exactly what Fisher Price wants us to do. The toy company has created a handy-dandy little iPhone case for that exact purpose.
Dubbed the "Laugh and Learn Apptivity Case" and set to go on sale next month, the case protects your iPhone or iPod touch while a 6-36 month-old child does its best to eat it, drool on it, or do other generally bad things to it...
