Do your kids play with your iPhone?

I think this must be a common thing for iPhone-owning parents--wondering if it's OK to let your two year-old old use it as a video game console... Once they get their hands on it, they're addicted. Kinda like their parents... A friend of mine at work even proposed we create a line of educational iPhone apps for kids. Victor Agreda, Jr. discusses this phenomenon on tuaw.com:

"Once my kids were beyond putting random technology into their mouths, I have let them play with gadgets. But what about my iPhone? It started innocently enough: a Leapster for a birthday. Then I cleaned out the garage and let them "borrow" a few antique Palm devices. Then I got them hooked on an old iBook G3 running OS 9 and some great old classics (the original "Toy Story" interactive storybook is a nearly-perfect example of the genre). A Palm T|X loaded with games, music, photos and movies might have been a step in the wrong direction, as was the Dell Axim with the same. Access to those was limited until the iPhone came along.

Once a kid has used iSaber (currently unavailable from the iTunes store) or played DizzyBee, it's over. When you show them you can add yet more fun diversions the question becomes "got anything new on your iPhone?" By then it's over."

Our favorite here at Otterhop is Motion Dice, which is included in the YouTube video on this page (only, we just have the "dice" version -- not the poker version :)
