Are people who use this store that sensitive that they cant handle some naughty words?
I would assume that 99.9% of the people with this phone are over the age of...12, and can handle words like ****, ****, ********, ***, and ********************'s.
Why don't you let her parents worry about that? Or dont buy a kid a gadget that wasn't meant to be a kids toy.
Paul, better make sure you rip out the wifi so she can't simply google "teabagging"
Why? I learned more from FRIENDS and family members when I was 10 than anything else. Of Course when I was 10 it was 1990 and the technology world was a little different.
People need to stop being so sensitive. Kids will LEARN bad words no matter what you do. Do you think every 10-12 year old is innocent and NEVER learned bad words for the sake of knowing bad words? HA!
@Paul,
Better prevent her to go on the internet then, as she might stumble upon the meaning of teabagging...
Seriously, preventing her to know the meaning of words is not helping her at all and is not a replacement to a good education. As G.I. Joe said : Knowing is half the battle!
Now quit astroturfing.
Paul, you also better disable the browser so she can't look it up on the internet.
You may want to also disable the music functionality so she can't listen to vulgar music.
You might also want to disable the photo viewing function so that...
Give me a break. Raise your own damn kids for once, quit expecting everyone else to do it for you.
@Paul: So Apple should parent her instead of her actual parents?
@Paul Chapel
So your going to buy your niece an ipod touch with wifi capability and im sure she also has access to a computer with internet access and your happy Apple censors a dictionary app? Because im sure she cant see these types of things on TV or anywhere on the internet. i guess with your theory we should destroy all forms of media since bad content might be displayed?
Can Apple do no wrong in your eyes. You seem to blindly agree with EVERYTHING they do. and also carefully pick and choose which articles to show your Apple love on.
And FYI the App approval process is BROKEN and there are far worse apps they allow then a dictionary with bad words in it. my roommate Dled a App that was just different guns that you reload and shoot. Now thats horrible.
dont forget *******
@Paul: You just proved my point actually.
@Paul: You don't have to censor yourself just because Apple does it
"Uh, my niece has a Mac and there are already parental controls on the Mac"
Since when did an article on an iPhone dictionary app turn into an argument on parental controls on a mac?
@ Paul "LOL, you people have no sense of humor."
Um, that's because it wasn't funny. It was lame. For us to not have a sense of humor about something, it would have to actually be funny, not just your lame attempt at a joke.
"A google search for teabagging would return absolutely nothing."

Really, Paul? 4th picture. Safe search set to moderate.
