ATLANTA — InternetSafety.com today announced that Safe Eyes Mobile, the first filtered web browser for the iPhone and iPod Touch, will also protect children using Apple’s new iPad tablet by enabling parents to restrict access to inappropriate online content. Utilizing award-winning Safe Eyes filtering technology, Safe Eyes Mobile for the iPad will automatically block 35 categories of web sites while also offering the same pinch-and-tap zoom, bookmarks and built-in Google search as the built-in Safari browser it is designed to replace.
Like Safe Eyes Mobile for the iPhone and iPod Touch, the iPad version allows parents to block access to web sites containing pornography, violence, gambling, drugs and other objectionable content by selecting any combination of blacklisted categories from a menu. Parents can also create custom lists of banned and allowed sites, and adjust other settings within the app instead of having to navigate to a website. Enhancements in the iPad version include desktop-style browsing tabs for easier visibility of open windows and faster download speeds.
“The iPhone and iPod Touch have clearly penetrated the youth market. The iPad is expected to be equally if not more successful in the youth demographic. Industry observers are already calling it ‘the children’s toy of the year’ and saying that it will transform education as well,” said Forrest Collier, CEO of InternetSafety.com. “Our new Safe Eyes Mobile edition equips parents and schools with the means to deliver a safe and healthy online environment for young iPad users.”
Safe Eyes Mobile also syncs with the home version of Safe Eyes whether installed on a PC or Mac, enabling profiles and settings to follow a user from desktop to iPhone to iPad. This unique syncing ability ensures consistent protection across multiple devices.
