One of my favorite recommendations for tween IM users (and especially for households with only one Internet-connected computer), the IM Me makes instant messaging mobile for young ladies with this wireless, purple electronic device.

Purple and Powerful

Fashioned in purple hues and featuring an easy-to-read screen and QWERTY keyboard, IM Me moves teens from out behind the computer and in their own personal space where they can enjoy unlimited chat with up to six friends at a time on the device.

Similar to the Rip Roar device for boys, a wireless USB antennae utilizes a free port to beam your child’s messages from the computer to device; IM ME is safe, private and convenient, especially when parents or other siblings need to use the computer in the middle of a conversation online.

A screen backlight, address book and online social networking with IM ME helps make this tool a must-have for any girl this holiday season.

Available in-stores and online through the Girl Tech website.
