iOS also has a "lock down for child" mode. There is however a difference between a simple mode designed for children and a simple mode added simply because the original UI design is poor. I'd point out that this is a lesson for anyone creating a new idea, but that lesson is taken for granted in our industry. Not really sure why anyone is bothering to defend Samsung's poor UI.

In Mac OS 8, the simple finder was not a kids mode. It was, as I recall, and Wikipedia confirms: "Simple Finder, an option which reduces Finder menus to basic operations, in order to avoid overwhelming new users." I don't know about Mac OS X, a Mac OS X Tiger guide suggests that "The Simple Finder would be fine for most kindergartners, if it allowed them to delete the files they created. In its current state, it is almost worthless. It should not be confused with the far more valuable Simple Finder UI that was introduced in Mac OS 8."
