iPhone parental controls?

I'm sure you're all thinking it, but...
If you trust your kid enough to give them a $500 device, how can you not trust them with explicit songs, websites, YouTube, iTunes Wi-Fi Store and the AppStore?

growing demand by adult users for filtering/capabilities (see e.g. covenanteyes website) to eliminate temptation as well as prevent inadvertent usage by children. also every teen will soon have the new ipod that has internet safari web browser access via wi-fi regardless of cost

I'm curious as to how the hell they plan working out that deal with explicit music...what if the music wasn't bought at the iTunes store? I know NOBODY who buys from there...

I'd say there is something more to this picture than the parental control. The simulator does not run OpenGL, only the iPhone can do it (so in order to test OpenGL apps, you need to be a registered developper, yeah, this sucks, tell me about it). Yet their screen capture shows several pictures of the teapot application.

YES BUT you have a key to lock your car if you want to........ And then you even have a key to lock your glovebox.... Key to lock iphone (yes) key to lock programs in your iphone (Car-glovebox) No.. that is what we want

Rocket engine in a new car.....Uh,...yeah. Let's be a bit more realistic, here. In most cases, I'd say jailbreaking your iPhone is more the equivalent of taking your new car, getting a custom paint job and flashy rims. Switching out the stock exhaust, upholstery and stereo system. Is this supported by the dealership? No. Will your modifications be to everyone's liking? No. But it's your damn car.
People LIKE to customize their possessions. It's a common fact. Whether it's a car, or a house, or an iPhone. People like to be able to say, "This is MINE. There's not another one like it."
It's one thing to say, "Hey, mod all you want, but It's not my cup of tea, If you break your device, don't come crying to me." But to say, "kids today! They're so spoiled."....Please. The desire to express your individuality through your tech has been around since rumble seats. Tricking out your iPhone is no different than tricking out your car. Just don't complain o the dealership if you blow out your muffler.

Awesome! I have a 2 year old that loves to click through pictures AND play with my settings. Parental controls would be great!

Why is it that no one NO ONE even the "DEV TEAM" can make a program or setting for the iPhone that will do this below. I cant believe that all the people out there can make stupid dumb programs that no one uses but no one can do this below.. I think honestly the TRUE hackers and not the DEV TEAM (Apple Employees)... can do this I would be honored to pay for it.

A locking program or function that can have a screen in the settings - General - Auto Lock Programs... That would let you choose between every app that is on your phone and be able to use your 4digit lock code to be able to lock and open apps. You say "What Apps" well Email - SMS - Photos.. So that you can honestly share the iPhone with ANYONE and not worry about them going through your personal stuff. I personally have to delete almost everything I get so that people can’t see it if (you know everyone want to) see the iPhone. So go figure... Why can NO ONE do this? But yet we can make every little stupid program out there but yet not one that EVERYONE would want. Heck I would pay 5 bucks to have that and I know a lot of others would and just think of all that money. Come on now people start thinking about who is who.....

I was at the Mar. 6 event and they mentioned Parental controls for the iPhone during the Q&A with press following the presentation. Coming in iPhone OS 2.0.

I came to post what Maikel did: What children are using an iPhone at the price and delicacy of it?
