Club Penguin moves its Island to where kids are: mobile

After 12 years of surviving as a Flash game for web browsers, Club Penguin is moving to the $36 billion mobile business.

Disney today launched Club Penguin Island for iOS and Android. The subscription-based app is designed to give kids a social space where they can interact with others via their penguin avatars. It costs $5 a month and promises a safe place for children to interact digitally with each other. Club Penguin Island has a free seven-day trial.
