pageonce.com..Sarah Owens recommends “Elmo Calls” for toddlers. This iPhone only app will give your kids a chance to talk with the beloved red, furry monster from Sesame Street. Kids receive or initiate pretend video calls, audio calls, and voice mail messages, and are entertained with fun sing-a-longs, imaginative games, and educational opportunities (such as learning the alphabet and to count). Meanwhile, parents can activate or schedule calls from Elmo related to a variety of everyday situations. The app costs $0.99 and additional 99 cent upgrade packs are available. Learn more at

It’s a barcode reader that allows you to compare and save. It’s rated as the top shopping app by US Today, The New York Times, CNN Money, PC Magazine and Smart Money magazine.
Here’s how it works – you use your smart phone’s camera to scan a product’s barcode, and then RedLaser searches millions of products across thousands of online and local retailers to find the best prices. It will also find deals and coupons on related or similar products. When you scan almost any food product with RedLaser, it’ll tell you ratings, nutrition facts and critical allergen information.
