I think 2 is a little early but then again my son started to play with the mouse sitting in my lap at that age so who am I to judge. They see us doing it and like everything else, they want to do the same thing and interact with the thing. Come 3 or 4 then they actually want to do something with it. I have been there, got the critics, looked around for products. What I find works best is an old laptop with CD/DVD drive for films and Internet. Use the DVD for films when you travel and the Internet for web base flash games. Don't get the kids mouse. Use a regular mouse. They are bigger and easier for them to use. Most of the morning kids TV shows have flash games on their web site and the kids love that because they know the characters. My son is now 5, goes to the computer, clicks on a desktop shortcuts and plays the flash game. His kinder garden class has Internet and 4 computers they share with games. Not any game. Semi-educational games. Colors, number, language stuff like that. I have also setup a blog for the class and the teacher and parents can interact posting updates and pictures of a teddy bear the class share custody on week-end. The bear is a loan from a fictionist teacher who is traveling all around the world and needed someone to take care of it while she is gone. Boy do they like that bear. The travelling teacher sends them letters and gives them updates of her trip and things she as seen. Last week it was the Eiffel Tower. Boy do I love this school. It's a public school with a scientific vocation.
