One of the hottest IM devices for teens this year, the ZipIt Z2 does one better than wireless instant messaging products for young children and tweens by utilizing WI-FI access rather than a computer’s USB output.
Affordable Device Loaded with Features
The result is a completely freeing IM experience for teen and young adult users, allowing its owner to enjoy unlimited IM conversations and the added bonus of unlimited texting with friends on their cell phones.
Additional features include picture sharing, music player and a bevy of cool customization options, including an IM and cell phone contact list.
Unlike its kiddie counterparts, ZipIt Z2 requires a small activation fee and monthly subscription charge of $9.99, plus a one-year contract.
But, considering the likelihood of some teens charging up a cell phone bill beyond the price of the total ZipIt unit and monthly fee in their first month alone, this might be worth it for parents strapped for cash—or patience.
Available online and in stores.
