Cool TWEEN gifts?

My tween daughter is very tech savvy and up to date. She spends time online chatting with her friends, watches dvd's, creative on the computer, etc.

I would love to get her a cool electronic gift without connecting her to other people all the time...you know she's got the cell phone already AND the house phone...now, she wants a T-Mobile Sidekick or IPHONE. I'd rather not get her either since her current phone is thrown somewhere in her room and the very expensive camera she got sits in her bathroom vanity, without protection from falls, damage, etc. Currently she uses my laptop for stuff...I was thinking about getting her a computer: my "mommy wants to get her everything" side says "go ahead, get it." my "mommy's no dummy" side, says "hell to the naw"...

So, any ideas?

A small electronic item I would recommend is the Nintendo DS - my daughter uses hers all the time. What is really nice is she can use it at home and she can also use it if we travel. Animal Crosing and MySims are two popular games that go with it as are any of the Mario games.

If she is into music I would suggest an IPOD if she doesn't already have one. My daughter has a cell phone and her own computer but she definitely loves her IPOD.. of course to download songs from itunes she'll end up using your computer. Just be forewarned if she gets her own PC she'll be spending even more time on the computer and want instant messaging and myspace because that is all I hear about these days. It's hard - you want you kids to have stuff but they also need to appreciate what they have. Buy her the IPOD and make her responsible for paying for the songs perhaps??
