He was able to figure out how to navigate photos, navigate between screens, and find his page of games. He was also able to delete applications a *little too* easily. My 80 year old grandfather on the other hand, had a tougher time with the interface. While he figured out the unlock screen, his fear gave him pause when it came to exploring the interface. He also reacted to the icons as physical buttons, trying to PRESS. THEM. VERY. HARD. As if increasing the force of his finger on the glass would cause the application to respond faster.

Then I started discovering missing apps, apps that had been shuffled around, etc. Now I have a passcode set so that she can't mess things up. :-) I thought it was cute for a while when my 1-year-old did this.

Well it depends on how you look at it. But on a serious note, I have a 1.5 year old cousin and he also unlocks my iPhone without any problems. Good UI? Well it depends on how you look at it.

Kind of makes the whole idea of "locking" the device seem a bit superfluous doesn't it?
