With an eyeball-popping, 5.5-inch HD Super AMOLED screen, the Samsung GALAXY Note II is the ultimate mobile device for watching the latest movies and TV shows. And if you've got kids, there are loads of ways to load it up with amazing video content to keep them entertained.

From the latest movies on the Google Play store to CBeebies favourites via BBC iPlayer, the Note II will be sure to wow the little ones while you're cooking dinner or on a long journey.

BBC iPlayer

Free Get it here

Auntie's on-demand service is perfect on Android and at its very best on the GALAXY Note II.

You can watch live TV over Wi-Fi and 3G (or, if you're lucky enough to have it already, super-fast 4G) so it doesn't matter whether the kids are with you at home or strapped into their car seats behind you.

There's also a full range of catch-up options, so they can rewatch CBBC and CBeebies classics at any time. There are also full parental controls, locking access to more grown-up programmes.

Netflix

Free Get it here

Movie-mad kids? Look no further. Subscription service Netflix's Android app comes alive on the Note II, with a huge array of ace children's movies and TV shows.

Best of all, you can keep them happy even if you need to go out, with the ability to pick up a show or film they were watching on the TV in exactly the same place on the GALAXY Note II.

No more complaining about having to miss the end of the same Pixar movie they've seen 10 times already!

Google Play

Built-in on the Note II

Access the very latest kids movies via the Google Play movie store. Films can be quickly downloaded, then watched wherever you are, without the need for a 3G or Wi-Fi connection – perfect if you're out and the children need entertaining sharpish.

The service is all rental, so you won't end up permanently clogging your phone with hefty files. Movies stay on your device for 30 days, and your little ones have 24 hours to watch their blockbuster of choice to the end, once they have pressed play.

Kids movies available include classics such as Happy Feet and the Harry Potter series.

ITV Player

Free Get it here

ITV Player is well worth nabbing if you want the latest from Coronation Street or can't get home in time for the latest Champions League clash. But just as good is the fact that you can easily access kids' channel, CITV, too.

Your kids can watch their favourite shows when you're not using your Note II. Programmes including Monsuno, Cakeover Makeover and Matt Hatter are all available for free.
