This is interesting to me because it explores the true intuitiveness of UI paradigms. What is intuitive to someone who is already familiar with common computer UIs is not necessarily intuitive to children, or to people who have never used a computer system.
A keypad with single-purpose keys is very intuitive, IMO. Something like this:

One button for each application. One button for each operation. I have this crazy idea to obtain a large custom array of keys, and to map as many things as possible to single-key-presses.
