Every year around this time, Warren Buckleitner,
editor of Children's Software Revue, and his staff share
their picks for the best holiday software gifts. This
season, Buckleitner noted a trend: The market is settling
down. "Old products, like the Backyard series, I
Spy, Barbie... are coming back, exploiting the capabilities
of new operating systems," he said. Kid
Pix Deluxe 3 for the Mac (Software Mackiev, www.mackiev.com,
Mac OS X, ...): In the area of creativity, Buckleitner
recommends this Kid Pix as an example of how software
packages leverage each other. Users can export their original
animations into iMovie. The product also integrates nicely
with Apple's iTunes and iPictures programs. |
