Mike Elgan: “iPad is the ‘Children’s Toy of the Year'”

I Think he’s got a point.

I believe that in the under-12 market, the iPad will dominate without any real competition, and completely change children’s culture — and for three reasons: It’s perfect for parents, the “children’s culture industry,” and it’s perfect for kids themselves.

Naysayers in my Buzz group say parents won’t spring $500 for a children’s toy. My view is: wanna bet? An entire industry has sprung up around DVD players in cars that are just for kids. How much do those cost? Besides, an iPad isn’t a toy. It’s a toy chest full of toys.
