    There are several great picture book apps available for the iPhone already. They don't go into a book like this, but they are great supplements (not substitutes) for physical books. My 15 month old daughter loves Kidztory books (Little Red Hen and Boy Who Cried Wolf) and Wheels on the Bus. Great animation, great music, and touch interaction. But like I said, these are not substitutes for real books, just nice supplements and something different to have fun with.

    Cute illustrations. I'm sure Disney will be thrilled to see their IP used in such a thinly-disguised manner.

    I wonder how the book recognizes the pages turning.

    Either way, super neat. #iphonephonebook

    This seems like a bad idea to me on so many levels. This will make your toddler demand to play with your phone at every possible moment. This puts a rather pricy piece of equipment into the hands of a very small child. If your phone rings at the time you are reading a book together, there is no way you will be able to pry this out of the child’s hands.

    I really like the idea, but couldn’t they put it in a device that does NOT belong to Mommy? If they could put this in something cheaper but similar to an iPod, I would be so much more enthused about this concept. #iphonephonebook

    @Benguin:
    Too expensive for a toddler. Something with less memory would make it cheaper. Something made to be less versatile would make it cheaper. Something in the $50 - $75 range would be realistic. Still with the touch screen but made just for the books. #iphonephonebook

    Not enough with carrying gerbil shit, you will end carrying also movement-induced gerbil vomit.

    Little Timmy sadly lost his whole gerbil family with one poorly timed bear hug.

    However the new gerbil-red lining on his chic green leafed vest made for the perfect thing to wear out on the town. #gerbilshirt

    It would be better with two sets of tubes. One for the rodents and a separate one for Victor, the python. Imagine the fun as they chase each other up and down and around. #gerbilshirt
