It may not work for you but I really like the Zebra F402 and have used them ten years without unhappiness.

when these countries stop believing in evolution.
Just asked my kids: 12 year old boy, 10 year old girl. I asked them separately. Each looked at me like I'm stupid (okay, maybe that's accurate) and said, "Yes."
They mainly program Scratch and Kodu but I'm installing App Inventor later today.
My kids don't mind programming. They both used Alice http://alice.org/ and were meh about it and didn't go back (about two years ago).
They both like Scratch http://scratch.mit.edu and the 12 year old has moved on to building his own blocks in the Squeak interface underneath it -- so as a starter language I think it has done exactly what we'd like it to do. He's now looking forward to learning python, probably using the media computation materials from Guzdial/Ericson.
The 9 year old actually prefers Microsoft's Kodu http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/projects/kodu/.
I'm thinking about working them through some of the material at Bootstrap http://www.bootstrapworld.org/ which is teachScheme for kids.
The poster is missing the real miracle here. Pope Benedict XV died in 1922.
Real Programmers don't eat quiche. They eat Twinkies and Szechwan food.
