Gift Guide: Tech Goodies For Mom's Day : 'Grass' Charging Station

Offering an odd-but-compelling container filled with polyurethane grass, this charging station makes a great gift for anybody with mobile devices that need a quick charge. The grass holds the devices upright and hides the charging cords from view while they’re grabbing the juice they so urgently need to work untethered and on the go. At $27, this little device offers nice functionality at a very affordable price. The “grass” inside the container is both whimsical and functional, and sure to appeal to Moms (and families) with one or more cellphones, MP3 players, and other mobile devices to keep charged up. It blends equally well into home and office environments, and does the job with little muss or fuss. |

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.
