Parents always want the best for their kids and that includes screening the content that they get on their gadgets. With iPhones and the iPod Touch becoming a prime source of mobile browsing, the need to apply some screening filters and control which sites their young ones go to has been a daily task for them. But now, a new software has come out, something that can perhaps make life easier for them.

The software is the iNet SafetyBubble. It is actually a parental control and web filtering solution made especially for iPhones and the iPod Touch. With this app, they can customize the websites they want blocked and get some reports on web activity of the other users, specifically the kids.

The iNet SafetyBubble app is now available at the iTunes App store for $19.99. An app that every parent should really have.
