anyone know of parental monitoring software for iOS?

[kleinma]

I have a customer who is looking to put parental monitoring software on iOS (specifically iPod touch, not sure which iOS version its running) as well as OSX MacBook Pro (again not sure exact OS yet).

Doing some basic research now into what is available, but if anyone is familiar with any of this type of software it might be helpful to me.

They basically want to keep track of IM and Internet usage for triplet 11 year old children of theirs (so yeah they each have their own MacBook pro and iPod touch... and they are 11....)

I have setup netnanny on PCs at a daycare before, so I am somewhat familiar with their product line, however it looks as though it is not available until March for iOS.

The customer does seem to want to monitor more than actually block things, I guess one of those "give the benefit of the doubt, but not fully trust" sort of scenarios.

I think I will need to actually meet with the customer and get an idea of exactly what their goal is, to block, or to simply monitor.

There are spyware apps for jailbroken devices, if that's an option. And there are already some "safe browser" apps available (though I can offer no personal opinion).
