She imagined a better way and with a team of people, Yip Yap has designed, built, and launched a first of its kind kid’s WiFi phone called PIPSQUEAK. It’s durable, age-appropriate, and completely controlled by parents using the Yip Yap App on their phone. Parents build an individual private network of contacts and content specifically suited to their child and accessed using PIPSQUEAK. PIPSQUEAK features include calling, photo and video sharing, ad/commercial/search FREE YouTube streaming, music, games and more!<br> How to listen to the podcast:<br> 1.Listen on the blog.
