>do kids/parents see that as a gaming device? It's a "make my kids shut up in the car or in a restaurant" device.

    It's especially bothersome to me when parents use "learning" apps to try and pretend that they're being a more productive parent by giving their child an iPad. Perhaps they can do some good, but their effects are also vastly overstated and are no substitute for hands-on physical teaching by parents. Here is an example study that tries to test the effects of apps vs. parents teaching foreign language words: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20855901 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20855901

      If by apps you mean a watching DVD, which (based on the abstract) was what this studied.

  This is the truth. Many kids are still using Nintendo 3DS as a gaming console in conjunction to having a tablet.
