Although Hello Kitty Cafe wasn't created with an educational intent, the player, which in this case is a kid age 9 or above, is responsible for running a Hello Kitty restaurant. As a result, players will learn time management and efficient work tactics. However, as the player progresses, the accelerated pace as well as the multiple options available could affect the user experience. Also, the temptation for in-app purchases will be high to make the game successful.

Hello Kitty Cafe is a well-designed, cute little game that kids will love to play, especially with the iconic figure at its … Read more

Inspired by the iconic and cute Hello Kitty wraps for the Smart ForTwo, the People of the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) is asking for "Hello Doggy" wraps, too.

In a letter to Smart USA President Jill Lajdziak, PETA Executive Vice President Tracy Reiman said that the animal rights organization wants to partner with Smart USA to offer "a 'Hello Doggy' Smart ForTwo wrap--in the same cute style as your recently introduced Hello Kitty wrap, but this wrap would be a public service," the letter said.

In the letter, PETA reports that 6 million to 8 … Read more

Ready for this? Yes, it's another feline invasion of the lipless kind, this time in the shape of pink and white X-mini Hello Kitty Capsule Speakers. Given that the cat's incapable of articulating anything, this makes for an odd pairing.

Still, Singapore vendor XMI, which dropped by CNET Asia's labs to surprise us with this Kitty outing, believes this to be a sound investment. Its CEO, Ryan Lee, hopes to snag the other half of a demographic that has been predominantly male.

I hope you are sitting, and not standing. For this is in fact the final episode of Gadgettes. Yes, it sucks. But the show will always live on in the archives. Before you start re-listening to every single past episode, enjoy our final sendoff where we (appropriately) cover nearly all of the segments from the show.

I'm almost cut up to pieces over which is more disturbing. That Hello Kitty hearts a chainsaw, literally, with pink ones on the serrated blade. Or that there might be a "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" sequel with Leatherface wielding a Hello Kitty chainsaw to dismember his victims. Certainly, kawaii (cute) is the last thing that comes to mind here. And we thought she was so sweet and harmless, too.

The famous mouthless feline is back, and this time she's prepared to grace your iPhone in the form of a Twitter client.

Probably as recognizable as Mickey Mouse, Hello Kitty is an icon that has appeared in a wide range of products including wine, solar charger, PCs, Darth Vadar, Stormtrooper, and even a Taser gun. So it comes as no surprise that the cute cat has made the leap to the competitive iPhone App Store for tweens all over the world--and even guys who want to explore their feminine side.

It's priced at $3.99 and can be … Read more

With all that oil gushing out of the hole in the Earth, we have to ask ourselves this question. And if this happens, what then? Well, flying cars and pedal powered Porsches, obviously. Even Eli, our special guest, knows that!

You have to admit that the second the word "iPad" came out of Steve Jobs' mouth, you envisioned a future where the Gadgettes devoted an entire episode to the mocking of such a product name... right? Buckle up, space cadet. It's time to take a crazy ride into the world of double entendre.

And a few more: Will the iPad absorb new readers? It comes in light, medium, and heavy. You have to pay extra if you have a heavy data flow.
