LeapFrog Introduces PDA for Kids.

Topic:

PDA's of all sorts are more common today than ever before. Whether it's a palm pilot or a smartphone, increasing numbers of people are finding a need for the on-the-go computing and storage capabilities that a PDA offers. LeapFrog, an educational product developer, realized that where there are fancy new gadgets, there are children just dying to play with them.

They commissioned a study from Harris Interactive called "Save Your PDA", which interviewed parents about how their children acted around their PDA devices. The results were as fascinating as they were hilarious; 32% of parents reported children changing their settings, and 23% reported them smearing the keypad or screen with food. 51% reported their children placing calls (16% of them to 911), and 9% said that their children dropped their phones in the garbage at least once.
