Hey ya'll - our startup just launched our first app for the iPad earlier this week. We're super proud of it. Though it's a kids creative play/animation app, I think it may appeal to a lot of the readers on HN since we built it with the mind set of late 20/early 30 something kids at heart.<p>Our goal with Toontastic was to digitize play and bring concepts from Legos and puppets to the iPad.<p>When I played with Legos as a kid, I had to make stop-motion animations if I ever wanted to save the crazy stories I made along the way. With Toontastic, kids play just as they would with physical toys but now they're able to record, save and share their stories. We have a video up on that page that shows it in action.<p>We think we have a solid v1 but I'd love to hear what you all think of the program and any ideas you all think might fit for a kids-oriented storytelling app. Were there any things that you did/played with as a kid that you wish you could digitize and share?

This is super cool. Call me a late adopter, but this seems to be "the" app that might finally make me buy an iPad. Disclaimer: I have a 5 year old child, whose into Lego etc., so I know the market this is targeting.<p>Question: Are you guys planning on supporting Android, since personally I'm leaning towards an Android tablet.

Very fun stuff! Are you planning on updating new background/character theme packs?
