Social media guide Mashable has recently published reports on the crossover between two separate worlds: animation and apps.
The first story announces the release of a 'Monster Maker' app featuring Elmo, the Sesame Street character.
The second piece describes how a recent (US) edition of The Simpsons featured Homer using an iPhone!
The two articles confirm either what we knew already - the iPhone's not just cool, but cool enough to feature on The Simpsons - or suspected: it's ubiquitous enough to be reaching out to kids.
And here's where my personal experience comes in. Once a child gets hold of an iPhone (parents beware!), s/he will intuitively know how to use it - and love the interface. Even my under-two toddler likes watching Timmy Time episodes on the BBC iPlayer.
