Since Apple (NSDQ: AAPL)’s allowing third-party browsers into the App Store now, InternetSafety.com has jumped in and released Safe Eyes Mobile. Looking at the video demo, this new browser functions just as well and smoothly as Safari, only blocks content from a long list of questionable sites. Parents can also remotely lock down Safari on their kids’ iPhones, as well as block up to 31 more categories of sites. Yow, harsh. You can download Safe Eyes Mobile now for a stiff $19.99 over iTunes.

Finally! With just about every “must have” cell phone comming equiped with internet access, it was time that somebody gave concerned parents a choice. Good for you, Apple, for opening up your App store and allowing people to have more control over what goes on in their lives. It’s hard enough for today’s busy parent to monitor what websites their teens are visiting while in their rooms, without having to worry about kids surfing for porn on their IPhone while on lunch break at school. There’s been a real push for more hands on parental controls lately, with government and non profit agencies applauding the efforts of sites like http//myinternetdoorman.com, and it’s good to see Apple joining the movement.
