There was a time when I was always at the forefront of new technology. That was before I was a parent, and these days I’m way behind. We don’t have a iPad, Kindle, or any other “tablet” device. My iPhone is an iPhone 3, which means that I can’t install iOS 5.1 on it, thus making all the cool new games and Apps completely incompatible with my device. While Apple continues pumping out new versions of the products, I just can’t justify spending hundreds of dollars on new tech on a regular basis (there are more important expenses like diapers, formula, etc). I bought my iPhone in 2010, and in 2012 it’s beyond “relic” status. It’s a little irritating when I have news like this to share… Disney Publishing has just released a new FINDING NEMO App called NUMBERS WITH NEMO.
Available in the Education Category of the App Store today, NUMBERS WITH NEMO is available for iPhone (get it here) and iPad (get it here) for $3.99.
