Christmas Gifts for Kids

- Meet Kids' Requirement for Apple Products or not in This Coming Christmas？

What's the best Christmas Gifts for Kids? Are you annoyed with what you should send to your kids on this coming Christmas? But Do you know? It is reported that kids would not be pleased with toys this Christmas because they are exposed to high-tech video games and cell phones. In the contrast, they also want to have a close contact with Apple's products such as iPod touch, iPhone, iPad or other advanced gadgets.

Trend of Owning an Apple Product

According to Duracell Toy Report, out of the surveyed 2,138 kids, 39 per cent want an Apple product. Seventy per cent 5-8 year olds, 50 per cent to 9-12 year olds, and 16 per cent of 13-16 year olds wanted an Apple product this Christmas. The Apple iPhone 4, the Apple iPod touch and the Apple iPad tablet computer were the three most desired Christmas gifts for kids, with age group ranging from 5 to 16 years. What a great shock for parents for they are too young to play these dear and advanced products.

Owing to this trend among those kids, some school made a survey that how much do they learn about iPod, iPhone, iPad. "I know iPod well. The iPod is a combination portable digital media player and hard drive from Apple Computer. The original version was about the size of a deck of playing cards, with a monochrome screen and a 5 gigabyte capacity. iPods can be now be purchased with up to 60 GB of hard drive capacity and color screens capable of playing television shows, videos or movies uploaded from a PC.

Dialogue between a Teacher and Student

"An iPod can be connected to a computer with either a FireWire or USB port, with many of the latest versions depending upon USB 2.0. iPods have a reputation for being user-friendly." A 10 years old boy said to his teacher. "How can you learn so much about this?" Can you tell us some other information about iPod?" His teacher said to the little boy in a amazing manner. "Yes of course, except for this, while the iPod was originally platform dependent, after July 2004 iPods worked on either Windows or Mac. iTunes makes it possible to load an entire CD onto an iPod in as little as ten seconds, organize thousands of songs into favorite playlists, purchase songs, albums, videos and movies from the online store and subscribe to podcasts. The iPod supports most audio file formats including MP3, WAV, and AAC. As of October 2006, the iPod was the world's most popular portable digital media player, with more than 60 million units sold worldwide. Of course we can transfer ipod's contents to computer through an iPod to computer transfer software in case of losing iPod."

According to the dialogue between the teacher and his student, I think we won't be surprised at the fact that fourteen per cent of the respondents said that they wanted an iPhone, while iPod Touch and iPad were voted by 13 per cent and 12 per cent, respectively. In the list of most wanted gifts, Kinect for Xbox grabbed fourth position, while Kung Zhu Hamsters, Flip Video Camera, Toy Story 3 Jet Pack Buzz Lightyear secured fifth, sixth and seventh spots, respectively.

"Although some kids have a better understanding of these advanced apple products, it is still a big problem that can we meet their needs to buy their iPod or iPhone as the Christmas gifts for kids." Most parents exclaimed.
