Place an iPhone in a child’s hands, and chances are that nine out of ten will figure out how it works almost immediately. Having suitable apps that will keep their attention will definitely come in useful for parents, sort of like an electronic-pacifier. To have that app educate and at the same time entertain the child will be a bonus!
The good folks at SkyVu Pictures have come up with the perfect solution: the Storyboy – a series of interactive storybook apps that combine interesting short stories with colorful animation and engaging narration.

Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference this year will be held from June 7 to 11 at San Francisco’s Moscone West. As the image above shows, the focus will be on iPhone OS 4 and iPhone apps development. With iPad already out in the market, this WWDC will have its first iPad development sessions and hands-on working labs for iPhone® OS 4, as well as Mac OS® X core technology labs.
As mentioned by John Gruber – the focus will be on the iPhone OS, less on the Mac:
The focus is heavily iPhone OS centric. There are some Mac OS X developer sessions and labs, but not many. (Translation: Mac OS X 10.7 is not going to be announced this year.) The IT track appears to be gone. Looking at the session list, one could argue that this year’s WWDC is an iPhone OS developers conference, not an Apple developers conference. Look no further than this year’s Apple Design Awards, which will only honor iPhone and iPad apps — no category for Mac apps.
With the background of the legal wranglings over the stolen-iPhone going on, the possibility of the announcement of the new iPhone is unclear as there wasn’t an announcement of the expected keynote address by Steve Jobs, but we can still hope. Let us know if you’re going!

Brought to our attention by a reader, we bring you Classics: Jane Austen by Diego Dominguez Ferrera of Ubiklabs. The application is a collection of ebooks by Jane Austen bundled together in a $2.99 package. Look familiar? It should, as the visual styling is very similar to Classics as seen in these two screenshots …
