Gift Guide: Tech Goodies For Mom's Day : Mophie Juice Pack Air
|
iPhone owners love their handsets, except for one pesky problem: the battery life is not so hot (a recent JD Power and Associates study more than confirms this drawback). If your mom or the mother of your children has an iPhone, she has probably mentioned this fault to you. Mophie’s new-and-improved Juice Pack for iPhone 3G is a sleek case with an extra battery and charger. There are other iPhone battery chargers on the market, but Mophie’s purple Juice Pack is by far the most attractive, and adds 4.5 extra hours of talk time to the iPhone 3G’s battery. To make your battery reserve last longer, the charger features a switch at the bottom that turns the Juice Pack from a charger into a simple case, so you can save the power supply for emergencies. |

From the slotradio.org website:
"Much like radio, these songs are played in sequence and cannot be rewound or rearranged, yet in slotRadio™, individual songs can be skipped as often as you want."
So you buy mom 1000 songs, she hears one she likes, and has to skip the other 999 to hear it again? What is sandisk thinking? Why not just get mom a real mp3 player, or perhaps a FM radio?

There had to be a catch: After all, how else would a record company allow 1000 songs to be sold for $40? That's why I wrote that it reminded me a lot of the Internet Radio model (Pandora, etc.).
My girlfriend is planning on getting her mother a netbook, probably the MSI Wind. It's sort of a cheaper alternative to the Aspire Timeline.

I'm sure netbooks are going to be extremely popular this year for Mothers Day. I'm not aware of any models that have come out in the last month, which is why I didn't include any (almost everything in this gift guide is very new).
Pretty sure my kitty would pee in that grass charging station.
