iPhone code written by nine year old Malaysian boy - A nine-year-old Malaysian boy in Singapore has written a painting application for the Apple iPhone.

Lim Ding Wen created the finger painting program, known as Doodle Kids, for his two younger sisters aged three and five.

The program allows iPhone owners to draw images on the handset's touch screen using just their fingers.

The program has been downloaded more than 4,000 times from Apple's iTunes store in less than two weeks.

Kids supposedly do the darnedest things (okay, the phrase is "say" but bear with us), but we guarantee you most of those darn things aren't this impressive. A 9-year old boy from Singapore named Lim Ding Wen passes the time by writing iPhone and iPod touch applications which get approved and become available on the Apple App Store. Lim already knows six programming languages. He learned this by reading books provided by his father, who works at a technology firm which also makes iPhone apps. His father says they competitively compare download counts with one another.

Lim's latest app is a drawing program called Doodle Kids (iTunes link), which he made for his younger sisters. It's like a colorful Etch A Sketch, but it (thankfully) works by touch instead of by k***s. Each time you touch the screen with your finger, the app draws with one of a handful of random colorful patterns, as pictured above. When you want to start over, you shake the phone and it clears away.

Lim is already working on his next app, a game called Invader Wars.
