So what can one do with a pair of HTC 8X Windows Phones, a pan / tilt gimble, WiFi network and a block of wood? It's a superb question and one that HTC engineer Garrett Rysko can answer. A post over on the HTC blog walks us through how an advanced baby monitor was created for his lab partner, Derek Feri. While it's one expensive baby monitor kit, we always enjoy covering DIY projects.

Windows Phone App Roundup - Kids + Family

Apps

By George Ponder, Friday, Jul 6, 2012 at 8:50 am

This weeks Windows Phone app roundup is focused at our smaller audience. Games that will keep our children entertained and possibly teach them a thing or two. Some of these apps may be appealing to our older readers as well. We've even thrown in a few apps that will help you keep your children safe.

We searched the top Kids + Family apps on the Marketplace and put together a collection of a handful of these apps. These titles may not appeal to everyone, but if you have children (especially infants) these apps may come in handy. Keep in mind, if an app doesn't make the roundup it should not reflect poorly on things. These are just a collection of apps or games that have stood and if we've missed an app, sound off in the comments and share a recommendation.
