Improve Mom's Memory; Her Smartphone's Memory, That Is
Mom will surely appreciate some extra memory for her Palm smartphone. A Treo or Centro only has a certain amount of memory, and it never hurts to add more with SD cards. With a memory card, Mom will have more room to store those family photos, videos and some tunes too.
SD cards come in different sizes, so you'll have to choose one that will fit your Mom's Treo or Centro. Some Treos take the regular size SD cards and others like the Treo 750 use the miniSD cards. The Centro takes a microSD card.
You can check out all the SD cards here.

I know that you want to keep your dear Mom safe while she's talking and doing other things at the same time. We all know that Mothers are the greatest task managers, but they could still use a little help, especially when it comes to talking while driving. We sure don't want Mom to get a ticket for holding her Treo up to her ear while driving down the freeway. And we sure as Heck don't want her getting hurt! So think about getting Mom a handsfree device for Mother's Day.

GPS: Help Mom Find Her Way
"Over the river and through the woods...", well, you know the rest. Even Mom could use some help finding her way every once in awhile. If she's anything like me, she doesn't have the best sense of direction. My Mom doesn't do very much driving, and once she's out of her 10 mile travel zone of comfort, those eyes begin to glaze over just like mine do. If your Mom is the same way, or if she enjoys driving long distances and traveling often, think about getting her some sort of GPS device for her Treo or Centro.
