How can I protect my Xoom when the kids use it?

My 3 year old loves to watch the Dr. Seuss books on my tablet, but she can access the whole system. Is there any way that I can lock it down so that she is only able to interact with the current running app but nothing else? I asked the book Dev (Oceanhouse) but they don't have a solution.

Thanks!

I don't believe so. On the first day of IO a developer was asking how he could set up an Android-based kiosk and disable home and back buttons. Unfortunately there's no such solution. Accomplishing this would probably require a pretty hacked up OS, but maybe there's a market for it

Check out App Protector in the market. I use it to let people explore my Zoom but they do not have access to anything I am concerned with. In my case I have email, settings, markets and file managers all locked down.

Thanks, I'll check it out.
