They have products with the Hello Kitty moniker on them ranging from foods and clothing to computers and cars and passenger jets, and in Japan, its popularity has penetrated every aspect of JapaneseKitty merchandise. daily life.

Flying Stick Cam

Flying Stick Camera

Everyone either made a whirlybird out of paper or had a wood/plastic toy version when they were a kid. The concept was pretty simple. Rub the stick body of the whirlybird between one’s hands and toss it up into the air (the paper version was merely dropped from on high). Using auto-rotation, the whirlybird would land under its own control anywhere from a few feet to several yards away. It was a fun toy for the helicopter pilot in all of us. Now, (thanks to our friends at Yankoo Design) one

20 best Hello Kitty gadgets

20. Hello Kitty Fujifilm Pivi mobile printer.

zillions more in Japan than here in Europe. This mini printer is the size of a CD case, and connects to your phone via infrared, to print off your camphone snaps. The definition of a gadget that'd sell.

Kittypivi Kittypivi2

The Hello Kitty Fujifilm Pivi is teensy - about the size of a CD case - and will print off your photos from your phone using a wireless infrared connection. Bit slow to transfer if you've got a high power camera on your phone with large photo sizes, Bluetooth would have been better, but since this isn't actually available over here don't let it eat you up inside. Apparently Fujifilm sells plain photo paper for it, or you can special Hello Kitty or Disney character paper.

19. Hello Kitty Air Purifier.

This healthy gadget cleans the air, and more importantly, ITS BOW LIGHTS UP WHEN IT'S WORKING. It's little touches like this that make the best gadgets, y'know. Don't pretend to look puzzled - we've seen you dribbling over that blue light on your PS3.

She disperses negative ions and can be used with either an AC adapter or a car cigarette lighter adapter. Also, the bow in her hair lights up while she's working. Whatever she does to make the air cleaner, she absolutely makes it cuter. £30.

18. Hello Kitty Solar Swing clock

Forget pendulums. This clock has Hello Kitty's head bobbing around instead, and is powered by eco-friendly solar energy, allowing you to pretend you're saving the world. With gadgets.

Intel Classmate PC Taking Budget Laptops From Assy To Classy

Intel_cmpc

Unlike all of its ultra-cheap competition, Intel's entry into the starter PC market has a secret weapon: It runs Windows (XP to be exact). Whether you see this as benefit or a hindrance depends on your affinity for Microsoft, your need for broad compatibility, and your fear over how Windows might perform on ultra-low-end equipment. In my tests: Not as bad as you'd expect. It immediately dies on benchmarks, of course, but apps load relatively quickly (including Microsoft Office, preloaded on our test machine) and even full-screen video and Flash vids didn't stutter. Of course, it's still a machine designed for kids in a classroom environment: The ultra-small keyboard won't do grown-ups' hamfists any favors, but for a Windows-centric school environment, it's hard to imagine a more appropriate notebook. (Dig the handle and the rubberized case sleeve and the battery-powered pen that converts scribbles into digital files on the Classmate.) Besides, who'd have expected The Man to be the budget machine on the block?

Eyes-on with Pioneer's 42" Kuro Plasma HDTV



For the past couple of weeks, I've had the pleasure of feasting my eyes on Pioneer's 42-inchPHP-4280HD, a 720p set from the new Kuro brand of plasma HDTVs (some of the larger Kuro TVs have full 1080p native resolutions). Pioneer's touting its Kuro sets as having the darkest black levels you'll find in a flat-panel set—and being a fan of such famously dark movies as the "Matrix" films and "Blade Runner" (which often suffer because of the grayish blacks in many plasma and LCD TVs), I was more than happy to put the 4280HD to the test.
