This rocks - Fischer Price showing some cool iPad / iPhone accessories at CES

[Initech]

Since tablets and smartphone really became popular, we've seen a lot of attempts at kid-friendly tablets. It makes sense. When people are spending hundreds of dollars on the latest gadgets, they don't exactly want to hand it right over to their two-year-old to play with. Still, spending even more money, just so the kid can have their own touchscreen tablet isn't the answer most people are looking for.

Fisher-Price has come up with another solution. The company is using sturdy cases and specialized apps to turn your every day gadget into a tough, child-friendly toy. The first example is a reader that incorporates the iPod touch. Dubbed the Laugh & Learn Apptivity Storybook, it's a stylized dock. Parents run any one of six special apps for interactive nursery rhyme fun. Kids can interact with the pictures to make them move, and the app reads the rhymes aloud as well as showing read-along wording on the screen.
