this surprisingly works really well, regardless of the the other review, i was very impressed with its functionality and the design. it was very easy to use and a novel idea, i like how you can personalize and send videos to friends. very cute!

What Parents Need to Know
About Psyclops
Parents need to know that this site is part music-making tool and part promotion for iPod accessories. The site is tied to the Psyclops line of character iPod covers (compatible only with the Nano). Users who purchase a cover can unlock an interactive online world that allows for music and dance production and also social networking with friends. You don't have to buy the cover to put together tunes on the Web site.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about integrated media. Can you name an example of an item crossing over to different media? Do you think there will be other "virtual community" tie-ins with movies and video games in the near future? If you own an iPod, do you think this technology is something you'd be interesting in using?

A must-have for kids who have a knack for music and creativity~!
I loved this iphone app! I first read about it at Macworld 2009, and being a musician myself, I hoped to somehow get my kids into music. Since the website is free, I tested out my theory on my youngest child. She is almost 8, and I think it may of taken her all of 5 minutes to get goin on a song! she was so excited to make something all her own! I am so happy to be able to share the gift of music with my kids, without having to worry about their safety. thanks!!
