#2So easy a child can do it? I really think testing a user interface on a child is key to good design.

#4It's amazing how fast she grasps the concept of the UI. Either she has some experience with an iPhone, or we have gotten to a point where interface design has become so intuitive that 3-year olds grasp software immediately. I think the first is the case, but impressive nonetheless ;-)

The video's description says she has iPhone experience, but still very interesting to watch her just start poking around and exploring right away.

In the video description he mentions that his daughter likes playing on his iPhone

I think the description mentioned she had used an iPhone before. But still, it's amazingly intuitive.

She has used an iPhone before and played with many of these apps on the iPhone.

#10My daughter learned to do all of the basic iPhone interaction --scroll between home screens, launching, and quitting apps-- at around 19 months. Launching apps was the most difficult part, as it took her awhile to learn to touch only one part of the screen. It seems to me a brilliant testament to great UX design.
While on the subject of judging things by the reactions of small children, the first brand she recognized consistently is Google's - that includes the Google logo, GMail, and a GTUG t-shirt [1] (although she calls them all "Googool"). It's probably because the sound is easy to pronounce, and because of the distinct coloring, but it's still a little freaky, for a year and a half old toddler.
