iPhone is Now the Favorite Toy for Toddlers

[megamanx00]

The iPhone, it's for babies. Now grow up and get an Andriod phone

iPhone is for toddlers and those with the mental capacity of one.

Probably already been said but it needs to be said again.

I gave my little one my old iPhone 3G to play with. He loves it! I turned my back the other day and he had docked it in a block of Velveeta cheese. It was cute watching him trying to lick the cheese out of the data port.

The new phones are great but my next camping(backpacking) trip the most complicated electronic device I will use is a flashlight, (the smartphone will be off and packed in a ziplock)

All kidding aside, my 9month old grabbed my original iPhone and covered it in drool within a couple seconds....ear piece no longer works. So buying a kid an iphone vs. a wooden spoon which he will do the exact same thing to, spoon is the winner.

Well, soon we will find news of glass pieces swallowed by children trying to eat iPhones.

Another NYT article aimed at taking down Android and WP7's momentums.

If you give your child who is under 4 an Iphone you're in idiot. Their eyes are still developing and will risk damage. It's a proven fact. Why can't children do normal things? like.. I dunno... GO OUTSIDE

He must not be an American baby. Otherwise he would have just eaten the block of cheese.

Yes and eat a little dirt and a bug or two. from the "Baby Boomer" generation to the "Bubble Boy" generation

My nephew liked my PSPgo. What should I get him for his 5th birthday, Gog Of War or Final Fantasy?

Yeah well that concept video that Mozilla released made the iPhone look like something you'd buy at Toys 'R' Us. So, close enough. LOL

Both my girls (4 & 7) have iPhones (our old 3G's when we upgraded to 4's). They both love them and can't even be bothered to pick up the PSP or DS we bought for them to try out.

I don't see the problem with letting kids use iPhones or other devices like this. The problem is if you let them spend too much time on them. They are a great distraction for them if we're going somewhere in the car or dining out in public.

There are a lot of well-designed apps out there for kids which actually accomplish something useful (like reading, writing and math) instead of wasting time shooting things. Of course, games are fun too, but my kids don't get game time unless they do something educational first.

any parent who actually has the stupidity to buy their kids one of these should imediately hand themselves into Social/Walfare Services and ask to be locked away until they can show a level of responsibility at least 10% above that of a log.

They really need to bring in compulsary birth control for these numpties - castration for the father and removal of the womb for the mother

Just another crap with and about iPhone.

When used in moderation, and not as a babysitter, iPhones, iPods, iPads, etc. can be another educational tool!

Giving a 2 year old an iPhone- what a great idea!

Between accidental 911 calls, breakable glass (iPhone 4 jokes aside), a battery that would be toxic if chewed enough, and any number of deliciously toxic bits to ingest should the phone be shattered (never underestimate the power of kids to break stuff), it should be perfectly safe, right?

I'm sure there are parents that are responsible about it (carefully supervised, occasional usage together), but for every one of those there are probably ten parents who just let the kids do whatever they want with it.
