Some of the most popular iPhone apps for kids are First Words series of apps by Learning Touch. My 14-month old is a huge fan.

This 2 1/2 year old girl is obviously quite the Apple product expert. And it’s amazing how she becomes frustrated some of the user interface features. Perhaps Apple should begin letting toddlers beta test these things. Sign us up, Apple!

If you’ve been waiting around for this as long as I have, then you’ll be thrilled to know that DIRECTV has released its DVR Scheduler application for the BlackBerry. And, of course, it’s in Beta (v1.1.2). But it’s better than nothing.
Even in Beta form, it’s faster by design…making the same functionality from the “m” website a little quicker by placing all options front and center rather than having to click through a list of links thanks to the easy user interface.
The app allows you to search for any television show up to 14 days in advance; browse programs by channel or date & time; get program information instantly, including description, length and rating; record a single episode or an entire series; order DIRECTV Cinema™ right on your phone (only available for iPhone, Android, and Palm for now).

It’s certainly not old news, but the release of Kindle For BlackBerry is close.
Kindle For BlackBerry Coming Soon
Amazon has finally added a page dedicated to the BlackBerry app’s release. By adding your email address to the “Notify Me” field, you’ll be notified when it is ready to download. The app is already available for the iPhone via Apple’s App Store.
Quick Facts About Kindle For BlackBerry:
– Search and browse more than 390,000 books
– Books you purchase can also be read on a Kindle, computer, or other Kindle-compatible mobile device
– Kindle newspapers, magazines, and blogs are not currently available for Kindle for BlackBerry
So while Sony & Amazon try to decide who’s best and a rumored iSlate Apple reader tries to find its way to fruition, why not use your existing device to fulfill your reading needs…until, of course, you can decide on a proper reader.
