My 5-year-old daughter got one shortly before Christmas, courtesy of her 
grandmother. So far, she likes the memory game and TamTamMini, which is a 
little music application. She likes it enough that I haven't had much of a 
chance to play with the machine yet. I'm not sure how much a kid younger than 
five could get out of it. Of course it would be nice if there were more 
learning applications for it (I gather there are more in the works), and if 
they were maybe grouped by age.

Does anybody else in the LUG actually have a kid using it? If so, what are 
your impressions?
