    hello_kitty_photoframe

    Japan is heaven on earth for fans of cute gadgets. In the case of mega-popular cartoon cat Hello Kitty, the country offers Kitty-branded notebooks, USB flash drives, a ventilator and even a photo printer. And today, major Japanese telecommunications company SoftBank announced another Hello Kitty gadget, the PhotoVision HW001 KT [JP] (a digital photo frame).

    The device supports JPEG/GIF/BMP files, features a 7-inch touchscreen (800×480 resolution), 384MB of internal memory, an SDHC/SD memory card slot and is able to receive MMS sent from SoftBank handsets. On the front, it says “Itty Bitty, Kind And Pretty, The Cat’s Meow, It’s Hello Kitty”.

    So far, so cute, but you need to live in Japan and sign a contract with SoftBank in order to lay your hands on the frame (which will be released in this country on Friday).
