: Why iPad Is the 'Children's Toy of the Year' - PC World

“Another trend I’ve noticed is that when adults upgrade to new phones, they’re increasingly handing their old iPhones to their children — after loading them up with kids apps and canceling their wireless plans. The kids love owning their own iPhone, and the parents love not constantly handing their new phone over to the kids to play with. Everybody wins.”

This is exactly what we did in our house when I upgraded from the original iPhone to the 3GS. We plan on doing the same thing with my wife’s 3G phone when she upgrades to whatever the next iPhone model is.
