Getting worried every time your kids grab your iPhone? Maybe you already know that iPhone (as well as iPod Touch) support parental control allowing you to disable a number of features. And after you set limits on browsing through Safari, the further step you can take for your kids’ safety is using a browser like Mobicip (an iApp available for free). Once you get an account on mobicip.com, you can select the level of filtering based on your child’s age group by school (contents and categories can be either allowed or blocked for elementary, middle and high school kids). You may even set shortcuts to websites that you consider useful for you child (such as Wikipedia, Britannica, HowStuffWorks, etc.) And if you’re not satisfied with Mobicip, there are two further browsers available: iWonderSurfWebBrowser and Safe Eye Mobile.

You can now carry Marvel Comics (as well as comics from nearly two dozens publishers) in your pocket as several of them will be available for purchase for $ 2 via in-app purchase from the Comics iPhone Apps (free). Select the comic you wish to read, than watch the panel flows as it simulates your eye’s movement across paper pages. You also get to zoom, rotate and get the best fit for each panel. Fun!
The Marvel comics available initially are Joss Whedon’s Astonishing X-Men, Robert Kirkman’s five-issue Marvel Zombies miniseries, first 30 issues of Captain America, and two other X-Men-related books, X-23 and X-Men: Age of Apocalypse, each six issues long. But many more are on the way…
Elmo, one of the most popular characters ever, makes his appearance in this electronic reader from Nokia called Storyplay. Much more than an electronic reading device, it is designed to let kids have their bedtime stories with their parents, granpas or anyone wishing to read along with them even if they’re far apart. Place a real paper book in the middle of the device (with magnets on each page to identify what is being shown), then watch the two screens on the top: one is the footage of Sesame Street characters, the other shows the floating head that’s reading along with the kid. A alternative to Kindle that looks like a creative and entertaining learning tool.
