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.

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!

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).

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.

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.
