Re: iphone/itouch

The iphone (and itouch) 3.0 software, currently in beta, has settings
for parental controls. Should be available this summer. From playing
with the Beta, it looks like you can disable whole apps like the
entire browser, or youtube, but I don't think you can filter web pages
by specific rules. You can limit downloaded music, apps and movies by
age rating, though, and turn off in-app purchases.

Cheers,
