Happy Mothers Day from Search Engine Retrevo
Here are some Great Gadgets for Mom:
Retrevo’s Alka Gupta was rcently 0n the Ronn Owens show in San Francisco’s ABC KGO studio.
With Retrevo being dedicated to all things consumer electronics and Mother’s Day coming up this weekend, Alka talked about the kinds of things that women want in a gadget, what is important and why. She also had some consumer electronics gadgets that would be great for Mom this Mother’s day.
Some of the suggestions included the Plantronics Discovery 925 Bluetooth headset, which looks like a piece of jewelry, the Flip Video, which comes in an array of fun colors, and is small enough to fit in a purse or pocket, key chain photo frames, floating rose lights, webcams, and the new Canon SD1100 which comes in blue and pink as well as silver.
On the Retrevo site, you can also find some interesting Mother-in-Law gifts as well:
A GPS Device Guaranteed To Get Your Mother in-law Lost
Whether it’s a small handheld GPS or one on the car dashboard, GPS devices are supposed to make it easy to enter destinations and then get to them. The Pharos GPS 140 and the Alpine PMD-B200 show up on the bottom of Retrevo’s list for good value and ratings. So when your mother in-law complains about the GPS you bought her, just say, “I’ve never had any trouble using my GPS .”
A Complicated Universal Remote
No universal remote, that we’re aware of, configures itself but some of these can drive people crazy. A couple units that come up below average from Retrevo’s value and user sentiment ratings include Philips SRU9600 which gets mixed reviews and costs just under $100. Some users complain about the ease-of-use on Sony RM-AX4000 which costs a little over $100. You can provide hours of frustration and misery for your mother in-law as she tries to configure or use one of the remotes.
Digital Cameras That Take Blurry Pictures
Buying a digital camera that takes lousy pictures may be harder than you think. Most cameras are idiot proof and some of the better cameras with image stabilization and face technology make it downright hard to take a bad picture. So providing your mother in-law with a idiot proof product that can make her feel like an idiot is priceless. Retrevo can recommend a couple of real bargains in the extreme low-end camera category that will most likely take a less than perfect picture. The Argus DC1512 barely has enough mega pixels to be called a camera and can be purchased for under $10 while the Micro Innovations 3120 costs a few dollars more at $16.99 and also gets low ratings
