The interface is fullscreen and child friendly since it provides large icons and a simple feature set. There are standard tools like a color chooser, eraser, paint bucket, and ellipse tool, and clicking any of the tools triggers a jolly voice to vocalize the name of the tool or color that was chosen.
Unfortunately Doozla only saves drawings in .doozla files (not .jpgs, .gifs, etc.), so it's not very easy to share creations. However, you can print the drawing to a standard printer or to a PDF.
Doozla costs $24.95, but a 30-day trial is available.

Rats. It's Mac only. You guys could have mentioned that in the article? And why is it Mac only?
It would be really awesome if DS could just put up some colored or contrasting box somewhere near the beginning of the article saying what OS's it supports. That way I don't have to be disappointed.

Directly under the article title, date, and author is a category listing ("Filed under"). I put it in the Macintosh category...not Windows, or Linux.
I usually do mention (redundantly) that it is only for one OS. Sorry. I updated the article to reflect that.
