`In our opinion
`Zipit Z2 perfect for kids
`I tested the Zipit wireless messenger Z2 ($149.99, zipitwireless.com). It is a great electronic device for all
`kids. This device looks just like a GameBoy. However, it gives kids access to selected IM platforms so they
`can chat with friends. The Zipit is an inexpensive way to listen to music as well. It is small enough to take
`anywhere and has an easy-touch keyboard. The Zipit has cool smiley faces you can use when chatting with
`friends. It also can be decorated with fun backgrounds and exotic colors. With its safety and simplicity, the
`Zipit is a great gift for kids.
