We have a two and a bit year old who enjoys sitting next to my wife or I and requesting "Thomas... Computer!" (Thomas the tank engine's website).
He's also mastered unlocking my iphone and starting apps. Luckily he doesn't know my iTunes password. In about 12 months I'd probably consider picking up a 2nd hand iBook or a low end netbook for him. About 10 years ago I watched a friends 4 year old boot Linux, start XWindows and then run a game. It sort of a little experiment, what is the earliest a child can actually make meaningful use of a computer? Is there such a thing as 'Toddler Linux' ?
