My mom uses those the most. That and her ipod app while getting her hair done at the salon.

it's really not that surprising since parents are just kids with bills :)

Hmm, i thought Mothers using the iphone for "Breast feeding" would have made that list...Yes theres an app for that too

Hello, first time poster with a link to your blog... welcome to EIC! :ok:ok

[Youngbinks]

What happened to gabbing? Pretty sure that would be a high priority.

[ZR_Yancy]

Social Networking with Facebook didn't make the list?

My mom wouldn't even know what to do with an iPhone.

My wife( she is a mom) uses her I to call me on my I.

my mom barely knows how to use her old school flip phone i keep telling her to take and get upgraded let alone an iphone. she always says mine isnt worth it. little does she know...my dad would probably enjoy it though

same here. my mom has a prepaid phone and she complains so much that it doesn't work when it's not even turned on.... yup! that's my mom...

@dave nice catch. i didn't even notice that. viva la dave <3

[juls1585]

yeah thats my parents issue they take them with them and dont turn them on and god help us if my dad even hears his ring! they always ask me to fix it im like go get your upgrade...its time... a year ago

[computerfox]

well, the upgrade won't really help that much if they can't even handle a simple flip phone. that's like giving a monkey a math problem when it can't even figure out how to do the jack in the box...

[juls1585]

very true. i think the issue is the phones are so old they dont work correctly.

some cases that is true, but usually it's the fact that they didn't really have that technology in there time. i actually see it almost always since i work at a nursing place type thing...

My mom uses her iphone(which is on my family plan with my wife, I know, I'm a great son) for facebook, bird app that makes chirps dependand on the bird, email, photos, and showing off to her friends of course.
