I don’t know about you, but my head is about to explode with all the technology choices out there. Everyone is claiming to make the hottest cell phone, the must have e-reader and the can’t live without camcorder. So how to choose? Well, as busy as we all are, the last thing anyone has time for is research on top of all the other daily demands (Sorry, kids, I didn’t make dinner tonight because I was trying to figure out which digital camera has the most megapixles!). So, take a deep breath because I’ve done your “dirty work” for you. Here are five technology gifts that should be on every mom’s shopping list this holiday season. (Watch out because you’re going to want most of these convenient and easy to use gadgets for yourself!)
They’ll “flip out” over this 
Does someone on your list like to stand out and make a statement? Check out the Motorola FLIPOUT at AT&T. FLIPOUT is stylishly square, affordable and smart with an attention-grabbing design. The device pivots open to reveal a full keyboard below its touch screen with a dedicated fifth row for numbers. Your friends or family can customize the color to match their mood with FLIPOUT’s changeable battery covers; additional colors can be purchased in store and make for great stocking stuffers. A must for someone who wants to show off their own style, $79.99 with a two-year contract, www.motorola.com.
The phone upgrade any mom will want
If your mom needs to recycle her drab phone and upgrade to something new, check out the Motorola CITRUS. It’s a compact, eco-friendly Android smartphone featuring a rich, PC-like mobile web browsing experience. A phone that’s easy to navigate and comes at a compelling price that’s hard to beat, $49.99 with a $100 online rebate and a two-year contract from Verizon Wireless, www.motorola.com.
Upload photos without lifting a finger
We all know how annoying it can be to upload photos from our camera to our computer. Thanks to the Eye-Fi Connect X2, you no longer have to search for your USB chord and hook up your camera to your computer to make that happen! This memory card is a great gift for anyone who’d rather send their pictures without any wires, $49.99, www.eyefi.com.
The perfect gadget for stylish moms
For a fun and fashionable twist on the popular HD video camcorder craze, try the DXG Luxe Collection for the mom who is tech savvy and fashion conscious at the same time. Comes in 5 chic designs – quilted, houndstooth, paisley, plaid, argyle and tons of color options. Each one also comes with a matching clutch case, $149.99, dxgusa.com.
Enviable e-reader
The Nook is now in color! It’s the ultimate reading experience- a must-have gift for anyone who loves to read and also loves to show off a fancy gadget. The NOOKColor is so convenient, easy to use and fun to look at that you almost don’t miss actual books. It’s an e-reader that will have anyone’s seatmate envious, $249.00, www.barnesandnoble.com.
A GPS that fits in your purse
Next time the man in your life doesn’t want to ask for directions (what is it with men & asking how to get somewhere?), you can pop this pencil thin, sleek navigator out of your handbag and show him the way. The Garmin nuvi 379OT portable GPS navigator is the perfect navigational device for your hubby (and you!), $449.99, www.garmin.com.
Shoot and share in seconds!
How many of you know someone one who has a million excuses for why they take a ton of pictures that never see the light of day? That never quite make it from their camera to their Facebook wall? Well, with the Sony MHS-TS20 Bloggie Touch camera, photos or video can be uploaded to Facebook and Youtube faster than you can say no more excuses, $179.99, www.amazon.com.
