One of the big advantages of the Mini TFO YouTube channel is its mobility: kids can view this content on a computer, or a tablet, or a smart phone."
According to Russ Crupnick, Senior Vice President, Industry Analysis, The NPD Group: "Kids are using tablets to game, watch movies and TV shows, read books and listen to music—even occasionally for taking pictures—so they have embraced the utility of these devices quite rapidly."
