Three New Adorable Hello Kitty Mimobot Flash Drives

GeekSugar — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 05:47:00 -0700

Adding to its collection of character-themed USB drives, Mimobot recently released three new Hello Kitty flash drives to commemorate the 35th anniversary of Hello Kitty. I'm loving their cute, colorful designs: Hello Kitty Apple, Hello Kitty Fun in Fields, and Hello Kitty x.

The drives are available in 2GB, 4GB, and 8GB (starting at $25) and come loaded with Sanrio-themed wallpaper, screensavers, icons, avatars, and videos.

Hello Wars: Star Wars and Hello Kitty Mashed Up, Adorable

GeekSugar — Fri, 19 Jun 2009 13:25:21 -0700

My geeksugar readers, I know some of you love Hello Kitty. And I know some of you love Star Wars. Do you love both?! If so, then meet Hello Wars, a series of stickers that puts Star Wars characters' faces on Hello Kitty faces and then renders them in sticker form!

Each awesome sticker is just $1 each, which means I'll be spending my whole allowance on these and covering my binder with them. I am not too old for stickers.

Hello Kitty's Geek Chic Tee: You Certainly Are

GeekSugar — Tue, 02 Jun 2009 14:33:24 -0700

Normally, the gadgets and tech accessories featuring Hello Kitty are a little sweet for my taste; I don't want anyone mistaking me for an underage girl by the looks of my HK Laptop.

Thankfully, the purveyors of the girly cartoon cat have made something a little more grownup: the Hello Kitty Geek Chic Tee (on sale for $10).

It's obvious why I like the shirt - its message and geeksugar's tagline are one and the same - but I'm finding myself utterly charmed by Kitty wearing her black-rimmed nerd glasses. I have some of my own, and maybe I'll be rocking them with this top.

Out With Hello Kitty, In With Cherinacherine

GeekSugar — Tue, 17 Jun 2008 09:06:45 -0700

I'm all about change when it has to do with evolving and improving, but seriously - first Strawberry Shortcake gets totally transformed (I love Strawberry Shortcake Gen 1 much better), and now Sanrio is coming out with new characters called Cherinacherine that bear a striking resemblance to Hello Kitty?!

OK, so I've kinda been slacking in the Hello Kitty department lately, but that doesn't mean Hello Kitty needs some younger and plushier competition! I guess Sanrio will be releasing Cherinacherine bags, toys, cell phone straps and all the other goodies that we'll use to come in HK. . . this is just the beginning folks! I'm scared to see what's next!

Sanrio and Epson Collide to Create Hello Kitty Laptop!

GeekSugar — Thu, 08 May 2008 14:01:35 -0700

Look, I'm not about to tell grown women what they can and can't have on their laptops, so here you go: the Hello Kitty laptop by Epson. Sure, I might advise you to just put Hello Kitty stickers on your laptop and save the extra money and trouble of buying a new one (although if Sanrio is working with Epson, I'd hope there'd be some sweet games built in at least), but I am officially not judging. After all, I'm finding it slightly more palatable than the Swarovski crystal-covered Hello Kitty laptop!

But if you do buy this laptop (available in Japan and currently about $1,400 with the exchange rate), I want to know what Hello Kitty crap is hiding inside!

Hello Kitty Online Launches!

GeekSugar — Fri, 15 Feb 2008 09:02:20 -0800

Do you love Hello Kitty still? Or are you maybe looking for a less violent online role-playing multiplayer game? Get both with the newly launched Hello Kitty Online (currently in private beta, but they are apparently reviewing my application, so cross your fingers for me). It's definitely a psychedelic candy-colored overload, so proceed with caution. From Joi Ito, you can roam Hello Kitty Online's adorable world of the Flower Kingdom and the Sanrio version of the world's cities, build a dream house, and earn and spend kitty dollars.

Monsters are supposed to be involved in some way, though I have a hard time imagining how - the Cookie Monster, maybe? Sign up, get sucked in, and see if you can't live with all those pastels. Overly cute screencaps are below.

Hello Kitty AND Snoopy Cell Phones? You Shouldn't Have

GeekSugar — Wed, 24 Oct 2007 08:00:05 -0700

If you are sick of white cats and anything that resembles Hello Kitty, I apologize. But for those of you who can appreciate a good themed phone every now and then, check out these Snoopy and Hello Kitty cell phones. A far cry from the innocent HK phone by Okwap, these vibrant Toshiba 815T models come with a matching bag, cell phone strap and jewel box, plus come fully loaded with themed wallpapers, screensavers and ringtones-what does a Hello Kitty ringtone sound like anyway? Featured on Gizmodiva, the 815T also includes face recognition software which is pretty cool and prevents anyone else from unlocking it! Currently these phones are only available in-you guessed it, Japan.

The Hello Kitty Mobile Phone by Okwap

GeekSugar — Sun, 14 Oct 2007 11:02:19 -0700

Hello Kitty makes her return with the Okwap C150T mobile phone which surprisingly boasts some incredible features. This GSM handset not only comes with a built-in media player but a ton of Hello Kitty themes and backgrounds as well. Featured on GeekAlerts, the C150T also includes a two-megapixel camera, unlike the Beyonce phone which only has a 1.3-megapixel camera. For all of you HK fans, you'll have to go to Taiwan to get one of these phones. No word on pricing just yet. It kinda reminds me of a decked out Sony Ericsson with Hello Kitty decals.

Hello Kitty Bluetooth Earphones: Love or Leave?

GeekSugar — Fri, 28 Sep 2007 07:02:20 -0700

Maybe instead of asking if you like this, I should be asking: What's worse - Hello Kitty or Bluetooth ear pieces? As Molly Shannon would say, "Don't even get me started!" Thankfully this Hello Kitty Bluetooth Wireless Earphone set isn't pink and covered with Hello Kitty stickers (don't the ear buds look like they're Roxy?!) This 4-in-1 gadget contraption costs $135 and can be used with your iPod, mp3 player, Nintendo DS, PSP or TV. With the set you get a lanyard, 2 sets of earphone covers, a household charger, and a USB charger. Could you see yourself using this or no?
