Nine-year-old Singaporean whiz-kid develops apps for Apple’s iPhone, iPod touch

“While most children his age sketch on paper with crayons, nine-year old Lim Ding Wen from Singapore, has a very different canvas — his iPhone,” Melanie Lee reports for Reuters.

“Lim, who is in fourth grade, writes applications for Apple’s popular iPhone [and iPod touch],” Lee reports. “His latest, a [free] painting program called Doodle Kids, has been downloaded over 4,000 times from Apple’s iTunes store in two weeks, the New Paper reported on Thursday.”

Lee reports, “The program lets iPhone users draw with their fingers by touching the iPhone’s touchscreen and then clear the screen by shaking the phone. ‘I wrote the program for my younger sisters, who like to draw,’ Lim said. His sisters are aged 3 and 5.”
