Doodle Buddy for iPhone Brings Out the Artist in Kids

In the million blog posts written on the Web about the iPhone since its release, I would say 90% of them talk about the iPhone’s specifications and features. What I find to be most amazing about the iPhone OS by far, is that my 3 year old kid can use my iPod Touch, select a game to play, launch the app, and play for hours, all without hesitating for a second.

It would be interesting to count how many IM apps there are in the App Store. Off hand, I can personally think of close to ten. Meebo, a company that was first on the iPhone scene with their iPhone optimized Web client back in the days before the iPhone 3G, is the most recent member of the group. They announced their native iPhone app recently, and judging by just how good it is, I understand why it took them this long to release it.
