That's not much help to movie-loving grownups who'd sometimes like to free the PC or TV for their own streaming sessions -- so it's likely a relief to many that the Just for Kids interface is now available on iPads (http://www.engadget.com/2012/03/16/apple-ipad-review-2012/). Like on bigger screens, the mobile app (http://www.engadget.com/2012/05/30/netflix-iphone-ipad-update/) provides a safe zone for the under-12 set that organizes videos into sections that junior viewers will more likely appreciate, such as sing-alongs and talking animals. For now, Android tablet owners and those holding on to first-generation iPads (http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/03/apple-ipad-review/) will be left out. It still shouldn't be too long before more adults can be sure their mobile-savvy kids are watchingCurious George instead of Chasing Amy.
