Available in four designs (Mickey Mouse, Winnie the Pooh, Doraemon and — aargh! — Tamagotchi, the sticks contain a secure internet browser (Yahoo!

An excellent idea & I approve of the motivation behind it, but access controls like these can often be circumvented - and it's amazing how inventive and tenacious kids are. Good idea to get one but parents will need to remember education is also necessary in making sure their kids use the internet safely.
