Games based on popular CBeebies Games series Charlie & Lola, Teletubbies, 3rd & Bird and Numberjacks are available through a new app launched by BBC Worldwide.
CBeebies On The Go is available for free on the iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad to pre-school children in Australia, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Sri Lanka and South Korea.
Developed by Tag Apps, it includes matching pairs picture games for the Teletubbies and Charlie & Lola, a Kerwhizz jigsaw game and a 3rd & Bird tap-the-fruit challenge. It also holds a number of short video clips from popular shows.
Director of CBeebies investment at BBCW, Henrietta Hurford-Jones, said the team had “worked hard to build a product that upholds the core values of learning through play”.
She added: “This new kids’ app is a first for the Channels business, so the learnings from this pilot phase will help shape any future plans to roll CBeebies Games On The Go out to new territories and different devices.”
More than 53m homes have access to the CBeebies channel worldwide.

13 Reasons Apple Should Stay out of the Gaming Market
Why no apple? Let me take a go:
1) The OS will shut down and you will only see the Swirling Wheel of Death. No explanation can be found ANYWHERE because there is no real reason, warning, or error message for why it happened. (At least the Blue Screen of Death told you why.)
2) You have played a game for exactly 1 hour each day for the last 20 days. But today it just stops functioning like it should. No warning. No error message. No task manager to figure out what is wrong. No online solution. Your game just stops working.
3) Every time you plug in your controller to charge it, iTunes starts up, installs a ton of unneeded "updates", then tries to charge you 99 cents for every MB of DLC.
3a) This also slows down the OS and everything else so that your game looks like you are in constant slow motion (aka lag).
4) For no reason whatsoever, Apple releases a new product that is advertised as better than the current technology, but once you buy it, you realize it is a buggy mess that is actually inferior to what you already own. Worse yet, a third party creates a technology ten times better, ten times cheaper, and ten times faster even though it only works through cellular towers.
5) You are completely unable to upgrade any of the parts, such as a hard drive, disk drive or anything else. You cannot upgrade your headset, controller, or anything else unless it comes only from Apple. The OS cannot be updated with your current tech so you must buy new tech along with the OS.
6) Even though you try to catalog your music, games, and pictures, None of the names associated with those media work or are relevant.
7) Steve Jobs holds press conferences all the time assuring you that the product you bought is actually good. If that doesn't succeed he will do some slick marketing that costs more than Nintendo's, Microsoft's and SONY's advertising expenditures combined.
8) Sure, now you own the "coolest" product, the problem is that it just doesn't work. And since when does broken tech = cool?
9) All criticisms will be inexplicably positive.
10) Development for the system will SUCK. In fact, many of the games that are out on the other 3 consoles and PC will never come out on the Apple. All first party.... wait.... first party? Sorry, there will be no 1st party games. You will be stuck buying App games, playing Zynga games (that are free) and maybe minesweeper.
11) The software will be the least secure software ever made (ala Safari)
12)The WiFi connection will occasionally work regardless of the amount of distance between your Apple console and the Router. Further, it will work sometimes and sometimes not. (Tech Support for this problem: Turn off Airport. Turn Airport back on. Viola! it works. No one really knows why.)
13)Steve Jobs will deny that anything is wrong.
