It's an app that can apparently translate your baby's cries.

Leave it to a very shrewd software creator to come up with this one.  The Cry Translator claims it can tell why your kid's wailing and what you should do next.  When Junior's having a fit, you open the app, place it next to him, and within ten seconds, the software will decipher the cries and come up with one of five causes:

Hunger, sleepiness, annoyance, stress or boredom.

Then, it offers solutions to alleviate said cause.

Well...... duh!  Do you really need to spend $9.99 on something to tell you what you as a parent - or caregiver - should be able to figure out within a couple seconds yourself?  Even can only go so long without eating, so hunger should be easy to spot.  Same with sleepiness.  Annoyance is likely from a dirty diaper.  If it's really noisy, bright or hectic, chances are the kid's stressed.  And if Little Sister's been hanging out in her bouncer for more than 15 minutes, it's a safe bet she's bored off her rocker (er, bouncer).

The creators cite "clinical testing" conducted in Spain.  It claims "96% of babies ceased crying after applying suggestions displayed by the Cry Translator".

If you're gullible interested, act now.  The app's price goes up to $29.99 after November 11th.

(Why didn't I think of this?  I could've used the extra cash for Christmas shopping...)
