LeapFrog is out with their first iPhone application called Number Rumble. The math game is designed for kids, to help them sharpen their skills “using fun, intuitive technology that works anywhere.”
There three modes of play in the game:
- “Learn It” – lets kids choose an operation, spin the number wheels to create a math problem.
- “Quiz Time” – spin the number wheels to create a problem, then shake the iPhone to select an answer.
- “Random Quiz” – features all four operations at once.
The question remains whether parents trust their kids enough to give them their beloved device to use it. If they do, they can grab Number Rumble from the AppStore for $2.99, and/or wait for other LeapFrog titles, which they promised to deliver in the near future.

The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
