I let my young cousin play with my playbook during Easter weekend and she was surprisingly comfortable with it and understood the gestures almost instantly! Although, I was sweating and waiting for the moment where she goes for a finger swipe and swipes the whole thing right on the floor... My reflexes grew three sizes that day!

Fab!

I tried it with my 18 month old today, using a doodle app. They need to be a bit older as there's a definite habit of triggering the bezel swipe at a young age.

My 6 year old loves playing with the calculator 'game' :)

My 4yrs old daughter is the owner of a Playbook, so far so good, but I'm counting the seconds until the otterbox case arrives...

Hehe. My 4 and 7 years old sons is using the 16GB version. I got the 64GB all by myself.

One dad in the PB forum was not happy when his 3yrs old son dropped his PB after 2 days. Broken screen. Yucks!

My 8 yrd old got her hands on mine the other night while I was not around and I found a video she recorded. "Hi my name is Amber, and today we are going to talk about....my fish tank!" And then proceeded to film the tank and point out her fish and the names and telling about each one and why she likes it. Going to be great to show her those vids in 10 years

the playbook is easy to use and fun, but I just like to keep mine for myself :-??

Yelp just picked up a 16g for my four year old daughtert three days ago. She was able to show her grandmother how to use it in 10 min, It made me shead a tear when I saw her explain to her grandmother how to get back to the home screen.

"(and not once did I hear her complain in the video about not having native email)."

I love the quote above LOLOLOL

So, Kevin, does not look like your mom will have too much trouble with her PlayBook; I know you stated that was a concern before in one of the vids or during the official review. :) At any rate, that video was just priceless. The bezel controls are really not that hard to discern. Some reviewers made it seem like rocket science.

Ah, now I have a response for next time I hear "my iPad is sooo intuitive, even a 3 year old could use it!"

Amazing video! I love how towards the end the little girl swats her dad's hand away. In a "I don't need no help daddy" kind of way!

This is such an expensive toy to let a toddler play with this but it is so cute. I've noticed there are ALOT of kid learning apps and more to come in the app world. Keep up the good work RIM.

Our kids love the tablet, but not so sure I'll be giving them access to "need for speed" anytime soon. They love the story books, and best of all, doing the alphabet, tracing letters and numbers, and watching some short videos of trains, trucks, and fire engines.

That's really cute. My kids are NOT getting their grubby little hands on my playbook! LOL! Cost too much money!
