A lot of people have testified that an iPhone is not just a phone. Because of its numerous features and countless applications, the iPhone has become one of the most coveted gadgets of the modern times.
And now, parents are joining the iPhone craze. Apparently, there are several picture book applications available for download. Some are for free while others require a minimal fee. These work by installing an application to the iPhone which then allows parents and kids to browse through an electronic version of a children’s book. It delights the kids with its lively animation and upbeat music, and its touch screen interaction makes it very easy for parents to “flip through the pages”, so to speak.
Parents who have used these applications caution other parents though, to always be present to supervise children who use iPhones. After all, an iPhone is not a toy. The iPhone is a powerful handheld computer that lets you do anything from downloading music, making phone calls, find cell phone numbers, sending recorded movies, play games, and more.
And although nothing beats the real thing, iPhone applications such as these are welcome supplements that allow busy parents who have no time to buy children’s books to have something to read to their children before they go to bed.
