Want to guess at which of these two companies my wife is a corporate director?
I'm hoping Apple, cause to spend money on 9 year old for an iphone is a bit ridiculous. Really? A 9 year old needs an iphone?

First, you would guess wrong. Would an Apple employee be using PC's?
Second, as for my daughter using an iPhone...
A. She's in multiple after school programs where she's picked up by others and she stays in contact by texting me.
B. She's turning 10 in two weeks but is already in advanced studies and is a whiz at astronomy, her real interest right now.
C. She has a desktop, laptop, iPhone, HD camcorder, and a digital camera
D. She's learning editing on FinalCut Pro for the school's TV station and she video records/interviews teachers and students and her work has helped earn the school a grant from SmartBoard.
E. She's working in the evenings learning Linux and also just received her first online class to learn coding in order to build apps for OS4
F. My wife and I are both in technical fields and we're obviously leading her down that path. The sandbox that my wife and I use to test solutions has a Linux box, NT box, AS400, XP, Vista and Win7 boxes. If she has an interest in learning it, she'll learn SAP Basis from us and as soon as she's old enough, she'll be qualified to take on an internship position, then she can pick up contract work (under our oversight) and be earning her own money to save for when she leaves college.
I think the fact that she has an iPhone is probably okay considering her aptitude, grades and drive to be successful, which we nurture and sacrifice for.
