• Crammer Study & Sound System - Cool Tool!
• Lightweight laptops -EEE PC 900 (only 2.18 lbs., runs Windows XP and plenty of space, it even has a webcam and it is somewhat shockproof) See the video below to view the many features this neat little gadget provides.
• Digital lunch pail/printer - unlikely duo, but it works
• Cheap MP3, only $39 - not a favorite with kids though
• Back friendly back packs with air lifts to lift the weight off your child - those books are heavy!
