Wherifone
PRICE: $100

The Wherifone, made by Redwood Shores, Calif.-based Wherify Wireless, is another five-button mobile device that lets parents keep tabs on their kids via programming phone numbers and built-in GPS. But it does little else--no text messaging or mobile Web access included.

In addition to children, Wherify is also marketing the device to seniors who want simpler phones.
