"The Safe Browser from Mobicip gives you an alternative to Safari on your iPhone. It’s a fabulous way to monitor and restrict what your children are allowed to access on the internet via the phone. You can select a filtering level based on your child’s age, and each filtering level allows different types of content to come through the browser. The Elementary School level is the most restrictive, High School the least. The app uses real-time filtering in a way that doesn’t noticeably slow down the internet response time. Safe Browser comes with preset bookmarks to kid-friendly websites and your children can add in additional bookmarks of their own. They can perform Google searches, but the results are restricted by the safety filters that you have established. These features are all included in the price of the app. For an additional $9.99 a year, you can upgrade to a premium subscription, letting you control the Safe Browser restrictions through a website and monitor multiple users on multiple devices. You can blacklist certain websites and whitelist (permit) others. The premium subscription provides reports on the different users you are monitoring. You can see how long they were on the internet, what websites they visited, which ones were blocked and why they were blocked. Safe Browser gives you the ability to protect your children from the nasty side of the internet."

Mobicip's Safe Browser app has been updated (version 2.5.2) to take advantage of iOS4 features like multi-tasking. The updated app is zippy, instant-on, and makes copy-paste much easier and faster. As usual, the update is free for anyone who has downloaded the app before. Simply launch the App Store on the device and you will be prompted to download the update, or you can always download the update from iTunes.

We are constantly asked by parents and schools if Mobicip has a Windows edition that will offer the same protection for young users on netbook, laptop and desktop computers. We have worked hard to develop a solution for PCs in response to such requests. We are excited to announce that Mobicip for Windows 7 will be available in the next few weeks.

At this time, we are seeking beta users who can try Mobicip on Windows 7 and give us feedback. Participating in the beta program is absolutely FREE. Our iPhone and iPod Touch solution was built on the able support from thousands of parents. We only expect similar feedback and support as we roll out Mobicip on Windows. To participate in the beta, simply express your interest via email or through the contact form.
