ipads and apps can be great for encouraging learning. Kids tend to miss the 'point' of learning (it's useful in the future but not necessarily today) so gamification of the learning process can help massively by providing short-term rewards for their efforts. My daughter is currently playing with (i.e. learning with) rewardingreading.com (which she can do on "daddy's laptop" or the ipad) and she's recognizes all the letters of the alphabet by both name and sound, and she's thirty months old.
