I am a mom and I have been considering an iPad and this made it simple to decide! I am mainly purchasing an iPad because I work at DISH Network and they already have the ability to LIVE stream content everywhere. DISH Network’s subscription gives you the ability to watch content on smart phones and iPad wherever you go not just at home like Comcast proposes to do later this year. I invite you to learn more at http://www.dish.com/TVeverywhere.

I have the mod for a 5 row app page but that doesn’t do it! I need more! Plus there are apps that come with the phone that I want to hide if I download a better one. They just take up room! I don’t use the stock market app! I agree on tabs, a children’s catagory, and organization. I’m a busy Girl Scout leader and Mommy of 2 plus I have a cake business! I’m on t-mobile and things are a bit slow. I also want to be able to make different picture albums instead of just camera roll. My list is getting HUGE! I could go on and on. And more free apps!

I agree with Jennifer and Barbara! A decent camera and an apps organizer are essential! I need a good zoom for my pictures. Most importantly I want a way to keep my kids apps separate from mine. Some tabs at the bottom or extra buttons on the home screen to access certain categories of apps would be great! Let’s hope apple is smart enough to listen to their growing iPhone mom fan base!

I would love to hav an aps organizer, I try to categorize applications in sets of my stuff & games, educational, etc but as soon as I get more applications this is another master task to sort things out as the new aps simply go into the empty slots. Otherwise I love the iPhone & so does my teen daughter!

The iPod Touch needs a camera. THAT would make MY life easier. The kids like playing with my iPhone, and part of what they like doing is taking silly pictures with it. If the iPod Touch came with a camera, I would get them that and then I can finally have my phone back!!!! LOL!

I love my IPhone and was a 1st gen user who paid full price…..I was recently gifted a 3GS version from my brother who I assisted in selling his home for no fee. I use my video feature ALL THE TIME. As a Realtor I use it to do property videos on the fly and also of my son doing something funny I want other people to see (and now I can text it too!) The great thing about having my new phone is that now my son uses my old phone to use as his own. So rather than buy a touch just buy a new phone for you and let them use your old one for their stuff. Its better than an IPod touch because it has a speaker. The one thing Apple could do is advertise a bit better on how awesome this phone is to entertain your toddler or children and provide a great phone cover for protection against falls (like that ever happens )

I echo your desire for a children’s app category. Another request I have is for Apple to sync the phone and maps with the web pages accessed on the phone. With my Blackberry, it was much easier to google, click, and either map or dial. There are only a handful of times that I have been able to do that with the iPhone.

iphone mom, i hope you just don’t laugh about the press articles but also hope you are thankful for the free advertisement. I am single father and perhaps shouldnt be hanging around here but when i read the article on TechCrunch i felt instantly identified with how the market research that have been made about “iphone moms” describe them, I said God i can’t believe i do the same things they are doing, i keep my life and my schedule organized by using Google Calendar synced over the air with my iphone, i do the supermarket shopping and never forget anything thanks to the shopping list app, i give my iphone to my son for both entertaiment and educational purposes, i checked healthy recipes to have an idea of what i’m preparing for lunch, etc, etc…….. I already bookmarked your website to my homescreen sure that i will enjoy it and read it everyday while having breakfast after i’ve came back home from dropping my son at school.

Hi! I just discovered you blog. I am so happy to have found you! My hubby gave me an iPhone in June. I have been having fun and enjoying myself. I am just starting explore the world of the kid friendly Apps. My daughter is 2 and needing entertainment. LOL! Anyway, I was writing a post, today, about my new fave Apps for my daughter. That is how I found you, while searching for some other apps. Anyway, glad you are here. I am adding a link to your blog on my post, as a very useful resource to iPhone mommies! Thanks for the great info!
