    Here is yet another Hello Kitty-powered device from Japan. This time, Canon used the character to spice up its Selphy CP770 [JP], a portable photo printer. While the printer itself is available outside Japan (i.e. in the USA where it costs about $150), this special edition will most likely remain Nippon-only.

    Technically, Canon didn’t change anything at all. You still get a 2.5-inch LCD, a red-eye correction option, PictBridge and Canon Direct Print support and compatibility to SD/miniSD/MMC/RS-MMC/MS/MS Duo/Compact Flash memory cards.

    Japanese Hello Kitty fans will have to pay $160 for the Selphy when it hits stores in this country November 1.
