Newbury Park, CA (PressExposure) May 07, 2010 -- Mobicip, the leader in Internet filtering and parental controls for the iPhone and iPod Touch, announced the availability of its online content filtering service for Apple's iPad. Mobicip's superior technology allows today's mobile kids to safely use the iPhone, iPod Touch and now the iPad, wherever they are.
"The iPad is a revolutionary device that will transform how kids and teens interact with computing for education and entertainment," says Suren Ramasubbu, CEO of Mobicip. "Young children understand this potential more than adults do and they start playing with it so naturally. We are proud to play a part in helping parents ensure that their children learn safe and responsible use of innovative products like the iPad."
Mobicip's Safe Browser application is a bestselling app on the iPhone app store, preferred by parents and schools alike to provide restricted access to the Internet for their kids. The Safe Browser app replaces the default mobile browser, but provides the same rich interface with features like multi-touch and pinch & zoom. Parents can setup the service easily by choosing one of three predefined age-appropriate content filtering levels based on school standards and meeting federal Child Information Protection Act (CIPA) guidelines.
The optional premium Web Monitor service is a web2.0 application that allows parents and administrators to easily customize categories, track internet usage, set time limits and build their own list of allowed and disallowed websites. Because Mobicip.com is a fully managed service, changes and updates are effective immediately with no software updates to download. Future versions of the service will be available for computers, gaming consoles and smartphones.
Mobicip Safe Browser is now available on the App Store and the premium service is available at http://www.mobicip.com.
