The cheapest ipod touch is $200 and and will break just by a 4 year old looking at it.

Not to mention that this things interface is designed for use by a young mind with less refined motor skills that may not be able to adequately type using the tiny ipod virtual keyboard.]]>Feb 19th 2010 12:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/18/vtech-launches-kid-friendly-mobigo-handheld-gaming-system-flip/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/18/vtech-launches-kid-friendly-mobigo-handheld-gaming-system-flip/Feb 19th 2010 9:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/18/vtech-launches-kid-friendly-mobigo-handheld-gaming-system-flip/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/18/vtech-launches-kid-friendly-mobigo-handheld-gaming-system-flip/That being said, Im buying an Amazon Kindle.]]>Feb 18th 2010 10:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/18/vtech-launches-kid-friendly-mobigo-handheld-gaming-system-flip/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/18/vtech-launches-kid-friendly-mobigo-handheld-gaming-system-flip/Feb 18th 2010 10:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/18/vtech-launches-kid-friendly-mobigo-handheld-gaming-system-flip/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/18/vtech-launches-kid-friendly-mobigo-handheld-gaming-system-flip/Feb 18th 2010 10:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/18/vtech-launches-kid-friendly-mobigo-handheld-gaming-system-flip/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/18/vtech-launches-kid-friendly-mobigo-handheld-gaming-system-flip/
