Taser International has announced its new Protector offering, a series of mobile solutions allowing parents to monitor and control their children's cell phone activities.

"Protector goes further than most parental control products in that it doesn't just provide a summary of activity -- such as the incoming and outgoing numbers of people the kids call or text -- but allows parents to listen to actual calls and read text messages," writes CNET News' Larry Magid.

"The service, which will work on a variety of smartphones, will be rolled out later this year," Magid writes.
