All right, Sanrio buffs, brace yourself because another bit of Hello Kitty ephemera has made its way to market. There have been many Hello Kitty MP3 players over the years–almost as long as there have been MP3 players there have been Hello Kitty MP3 players–but this one is somewhat different.
It doesn’t have more memory or an LCD screen or anything like that but what this one does have is Hello Kitty’s head. That’s right–it’s SHAPED like Hello Kitty’s head. Each one costs $19.95 and has a four gig capacity. It includes a built-in microphone, plays back WMA files, and actually includes the right to select the kitty’s trademark bow’s color–light pink, light blue, red and dark blue versions are available.
It’s not bad as MP3 players go–as long as the playback sounds all right twenty bucks is hardly an outlandish price for an MP3 player, but let’s be honest. This one’s appeal is pretty much limited to serious Sanrio enthusiasts and it stops right about there too.

I don’t see why not. We’ve seen our fare share of Hello Kitty crap, what’s to stop it from taking the Xbox form? If you want, thank Rice Puppet. Excuse me while I go throw up the ‘throwup’ in my mouth.

Cute and pink? Who wouldn’t want one! According to our tipster this is the ‘official’ Hello Kitty phone, and considering the shape and copious amounts of cuteness I’d have to agree. Further convincing Japanese school girls to pick one of these up is an included carrying case, but aside from that it’s your run of the mill GSM phone.
The Hello Kitty 90C cell phone is available here for $142

Really, a Hello Kitty laptop is hardly a surprise. Adult toys branded with the Hello Kitty design on the other hand is a totally different story. Digression aside, Onkyo is behind this here laptop but they’ve seared it with their SOTEC brand, tossed in an Intel Atom N270 processor, 1GB of DDR2 RAM, Intel 945GSE Express chipset, 120GB hard drive and Windows XP. For a netbook the 2.1 hour battery life is pretty poor and the other specs, which surely are moot to any Hello Kittyphile, is a 10-inch 1024×600 LCD, WiFi b/g, 3x USB 2.0 ports, 1.3MP webcam, and an SD card reader.
The C101K3W is available in Japan for ¥69,800( (about $730 US).
