New iPhone application helps young children learn
A new flash-card game for children has launched on the App Store. KidsCards is an educational game for children aged 1 to 3, and uses Core Animation to display flash cards on an iPod or iPhone's screen. Cards span several categories, including colors, letters and animals; there are 150 in total in the initial release, each of which has a picture on the front and the spelled-out word on the back. The interface is designed to allow children to easily learn new words, and the developer hopes to improve it through future updates.
KidsCards is currently available at the App Store for $0.99.

You know what else works?
Actual flash cards. I've seen the condition my kid's flash cards get after a few weeks of use, and I'd rather my iPhone not get that kind of wear on it.
When my 4 year old can buy his own phone & rate plan, he can download this app.
