Parental uses for the iTouch and iPhone

Still need some

bona-fide reasons to buy that iPhone or iTouch? GeekDad Duane came up with 10 super reasons you should consider it now! To wit:

Audiobooks. Fine, you loaded up your whole music collection. But honestly, you can pretty much have music on in the background no matter what the kids are doing, can’t you? How often do you get a chance to sit down and read? Head over to Podiobooks.com and load yourself up on some free audiobooks. Whenever there’s a break in the action, like waiting in the minivan to pick them up at school, you can be listening to books on a wide variety of topics and feel like you’re actually making use of that time…..

It plays video. Well yeah, duh, of course it does. But at 6am on a Sunday morning when your 2yr old won’t go back to sleep, and you’re downstairs watching Elmo with the sound down low so you don’t wake anybody up, you may be tempted to slip in just one earbud and actually watch one of your own shows, courtesy iPhone. After all, the little guy is entranced by Sesame Street, he doesn’t even know you’re in the room….

No 911 (iTouch only). No matter how many random buttons my son pushes on my iTouch, I know he’s not going to call my friends (or the police) accidentally. I can’t say that about my cell phone. So he can happily play with it while he is bored. I’m hoping the new SDK allows somebody to make a fingerpainting program ….MORE…

Love some of those suggestions!! Do visit the above link to read them all. And then visit Even 1 year olds can use the iPhone. ’tis most interesting indeed.

ThankYouVeryMuch!
