The greatest Internet-related threat to our children is not sexual predators — it's YouTube.

Finally, a newer new cell phone!

Owners of the new Google-powered mobile phone will be able to unlock the handset by drawing a secret shape on the screen.

The device - which is unlocked by drawing a shape only the owner knows on a nine-square grid - will also include a magnifying tool, to make zooming in on web content easier on a small screen, and a mobile version of the game Pac Man.
