Depends on the age. For ages 10+ the Android SDK is a pretty awesome "learning" app, and it's free.

The SDK is for Windows / Mac / Linux. Is he buying them a PC too?

If you really want something that only requires the device, the Android Scripting Environment is pretty awesome, and it comes with a dozen examples for things like controlling Android's speech synthesizer which a kid could have a lot of fun playing around with.

He never said "learning to program" app. Just learning apps in general.

Sorry. You propose teaching your child how to learn using Java and one of the worst SDKs for a long time ?

I am not opposed at all to children learning to program.

Just that there are much better choices than Java/Android SDK.

It depends on what are your preferences, choose what you like.
