Hello Kitty USB and Nick Notebook

Exposing kids to new technology these days doesn't seem to be that hard compared to the olden days. They get to see it both in the cartoons they watch and the people around them. They're basically a goldmine for tech companies if somehow they convince the kids and their parents that their product is best for their child. Below are just two products that will just make your young child giddy with excitement over new technology.

Dell Inspiron Mini Nickelodeon Edition

Since Spongebob Squarepants burst into the scene, the kids who religiously watch his antics on Nickelodeon have increased as time went on. Now some of the kids who used to watch his early shows are either young teens or even parents already. It's a treat to both of those groups that Dell and Nickelodeon is producing the Dell Inspiron Mini Nickelodeon Edition.

Designed specifically for kids, the Dell Inspiron Mini Nickelodeon Edition sports Nickelodeon's trademark green slime yet is loaded with entertaining and educational content that will also appeal to moms and dads. Designed with kids in mind, the Dell Inspiron Mini Nickelodeon Edition is wrapped in an eye-catching, Nickelodeon-inspired slime artwork scheme. Based on Dell’s popular Inspiron Mini 10v netbook, it features a bright 10.1-inch color LCD display and built-in wireless Internet access.

It will be available October 2009 and specs will come shortly before that.

Hello Kitty USB Flashdrive

If you thought Nickelodeon had a big following, Hello Kitty is even bigger! Hello Kitty's fans are even more older and diverse. It's noteworthy to say that she will be celebrating her 35th birthday on November 1, 2009. To celebrate that occasion, Hello kitty and her friends will be immortalized in MIMIBOT fashion.

The crossover collaboration with Mimoco will begin with Hello Kitty® and expand to include SANRIO friends Badtz-Maru®, My Melody®, Kuromi®, Keroppi®, Chococat®, and TuxedoSam™ in MIMOBOT form ranging from 2GB to 16GB capacities. The MIMOBOT flash drives will also be bundled with the mimoDesk™ personalization suite of SANRIO-themed wallpapers, screensavers, icons, and avatars, as well as videos and other digital surprises. The line will be available for purchase at MIMOBOT.com and SANRIO.com, select SANRIO boutiques and other specialty retailers.

More information will be available next month.

Netbooks for Kids: Disney and RilakKuma!

Laptops and netbooks used to be a geek's tool, but now with the evolution of the net and the advancement of technology, it seems that everyone can own one--even the non geeks as the following news will show you.

Pedobear Netbook?

For everyone who knows and loves Pedobear, there's a netbook that you may like to save up for: the Bandai RilakKuma. Although it looks suspiciously like the aforementioned character, according to the makers it's RilakKuma or in English, "Relaxed Bear". What makes this even more precious is that there's only 500 of these will be available.

It's powered by an Atom N270 (1.6GHz), with 1GB of RAM, 160GB of HDD, a 8.9” screen with a 1024x600 resolution, a 1Seg Digital TV Tuner, WiFi B/G, and just weight 1.08kg.

Great for kids who just want to check out the latest flash games or episodes of Bleach online. Good for adults as well who like their netbooks "beary" cute. You need to get your wallets ready though as this will sell for ¥79,800 ($862). Tsk, tsk, not a very kid-friendly price tag you have there, but that's the price you pay for exclusivity!

Disney Netbook

Another netbook for kids is ASUS’ Disney netbook, the Eee PC MK90 “Netpal”. From the Disney connection, you know that their target market are tech and internet savvy kids.

As with other 8.9-inch Eee PCs, the Netpal has a 1024 x 600 resolution display, Intel Atom N270 processor and 1GB of RAM, while storage is courtesy of a 16GB SSD.

There’s also WiFi b/g/n, three USB 2.0 ports and a 0.3-megapixel webcam, and the whole thing weighs in at 2.20lbs

It's light on the pocket compared to the previous netbook, but it sure is hefty for some kids at 2 lbs. Probably the makers are hoping that the adults will help lug this around with their kids? Nevertheless, if it's made by Disney expect that it will be porn-proof with some added security via parental control. It also has access to Radio Disney, so expect to hear a lot of cheesy songs once you give this to your kid.
