Family Connections

This issue\´s New Products column focuses on connected youth and their families. The author looks at two iPhone applications to help avoid the "are we there yets?" on long car rides and to help record memories of the places you\´ll visit this summer. The first application is effectively a reverse karaoke application: you sing; it accompanies. The second application creates panoramic images from sequences of individual images. The author then discusses three new devices—the Alex eReader; an Intel power management device; and the Microsoft Kin, a mobile phone that\´s connected to major social-networking sites.
