Thousand Oaks, CA, June 30, 2010 -- Mobicip.com, the leading internet safety and
parental control service for mobile devices like the iPhone, iPod Touch and iPa

bile application software serving children and protecting their mobile experienc
e. Parents’ Choice has been reviewing and recommending quality children’s media
for more than 32 years. According to leaders at Parents’ Choice, “not only is it
clear that children must be adept in the traditional areas of learning, they mu
st also be competent and skilled in the learning opportunities digital media pro
vides.”
Parents’ Choice recognizes the best in children’s media. They rate and award org
anizations with Gold, Silver and Bronze medals. Mobicip’s mobile internet browsi
ng security technology received the Silver honor with one or more of the evaluat
ing groups at Parents’ Choice, a high prize for their child mobile internet safe
ty technology’s production and human values. Parents’ Choice honors are given to
excellent media products that are designed to entertain and support globally et

“This is a very prestigious recognition from an organization that, for years, ha
s been such a trusted source of the best in children’s education and entertainme
nt,” says Anitha Swaminathan, Director of Customer Experience at Mobicip. “Paren
ts need to be in the know about how to protect their kids who are mobile users a
nd using them in mobile ways, without total parental supervision. We are so impr
essed that Parents’ Choice has a mobile category to cater to the trends and are
equally proud to have been a part of their rigorous screening process and recogn
ition.”
“The Mobicip Safe Browser s intuitive design is easy-to-use. It looks almost ide
ntical to the preferred Safari browser resident on many Apple products,” says Te
resa DiFalco, a reviewer for Parents’ Choice. “Searches on inappropriate content
produce a simple "access is denied" message and a link to the Mobicip website w
here a parent or administrator can, if they desire, change the filtering level.
There are three age-appropriate levels: elementary, middle school, and high scho
ol.”
"The way children, tweens and teens learn today is becoming more and more mobile
. Safe mobility fundamentally transforms how children learn and we are so please
d that Parents’ Choice sees our mobile app technology as playing a significant r
ole in the process," says Suren Ramasubbu, Founder and CEO of Mobicip.com. "Mobi
cip s service is being used by thousands of parents around the world, and by sev
eral school districts. This award is so appreciated.”
