Follow-up on the iFrogz Tadpole iPod case for kids

iFrogz finally has the Tadpole page and pics up and now that I see it it's even cooler than I'd expected! I'm impressed by the design and the intent and as an added bonus the Tadpole comes with the "Screenz" protective film for the front so the screen and clickwheel are covered as well. Screenz include your choice of stock or custom decals that tattoo the click-wheel, allowing you to to personalize the Tadpole any way you see fit with your own images.
You can pre-order the Tadpole now for $20 ($5 off the regular price) and it's expected to ship on Nov 1. Unfortunately for my darling niece it currently comes in only orange and purple... not a pink Tadpole in sight :(

how can you say no to star wars?
Cool. I just purchased a new nano for my daughter (10th birthday). Now my 8 year old and 4 year old sons are begging for one. Ethan, my 8 year old, asked specifically for the video iPod so he could put all the Star Wars movies on it.
*sigh*
What have I done!?!?!?!
What 2 year old needs an iPod?
And if parents did buy this so that their kid will be occupied while traveling or whatnot (like a portable DVD player) do 2 or 3 year olds really have the muscle capacity to hold it up like that for the length of a movie? I know I don't!
JHF - interesting observation. I hadn't thought of it as isolationism at all. I can't speak for all kids, of course, but the ones i know that use iPods are typically using them in the car and such for watching videos or listening to tunes while buckled up in their booster seats, not alone in their rooms when there are other more social things to do. In fact, the steering wheel design sort of lends itself to that. kids make great back-seat drivers :)
