I guess ultimately there are just not many apps that are really necessary, apart from browser and ebook reader. Web apps are winning after all...

That said, are there any good children apps for Android? I mean apps for toddlers, no questionable "learning apps", just nice pictures that move when you touch them? It's the only thing that makes me think an iPad might be worthwhile to entertain my kid.



The Duck Duck Moose and Sesame Street apps are good. But for toddlers, iPad as much, much better. My toddlers, who have no trouble using iPad, have a terrible time with the Nexus.


What I loathe about my Galaxy Tab is the menu bar at the bottom. Impossible not to touch for a toddler, and with the blink of an eye he get's thrown out of the current app again.

Thanks for the app suggestions anyway!


My 19 month old lives one little game called "Animal Puzzle for Toddlers". It has got several simple puzzles where you have to place some animals on a drawing where they are missing. When you are fine there are balloons that appear on the screen which you can click making then explode. It's fun and simple.

There is a lite version, but the full version adds some more puzzles and it is very cheap (1$ if I recall correctly).


Thanks, I'll look for it!


This was posted on HN some time ago, I had fun with it (not sure about kids, but it's well done):
