Move over television, there’s a new babysitter in town. Kids, meet the iPad. The New York Post says while the tablet is marketed for adults, it has found “its true calling as a pricey diversion for cranky, restless tots.” Kids like the touchscreen interface and the interactivity component makes parents feel less guilty than plopping their young ones down in front of the TV. Computer World magazine even named the device the children’s toy of the year.
