Hello Kitty Flip Mino can't stop recording self in mirror

Pure Digital Technologies' Flip Video lineup is getting Hello Kitty-fied with the Mino and MinoHD. Like their not-as-adorable kin, the camcorders sport one-touch video recording, a built-in USB port, and are able to record 60 minutes of video with a rechargeable lithium-ion battery. Most importantly -- and sure to tip the scales in Flip's favor over the Vado HD 720p Pocket -- the camcorders come in eleven different Hello Kitty designs. Far East Gizmos says the price will be $179.99 for Mino and $229.99 for MinoHD, which is the same price as the respective models without these adorable skins. Between this and last month's C1 netbook, we hope this is a sign of an uptick in lip-bitingly cute Hello Kitty-branded tech gear.

You have to say FIRSTTTTT!!! however, the Hello Kitty is just to cute so I cannot rank you down.

Could we leave unnewsworthy stuff like this to Gizmodo?

[Oli D @ Dec 15th 2008 1:26PM]

Sorry, back to OSX updates.

[AMiSH PiRATE @ Dec 15th 2008 1:44PM]

unnewsworthy!? Did you fail to read the part about how Lucas is using this camera EXCLUSIVELY to shoot star wars episodes 7-9?

[Loonie @ Dec 15th 2008 1:57PM]

A whole bunch of us with girlfriends (especially girlfriends of Asian origin) scratching our heads for present ideas may have a slightly different take on what is considered "unnewsworthy".

And thats why i have formed the
Alliance of Engadget Commenters with Girlfriends of Asian Origin who seek Stereotypical Presents for Christmas!

Or AOECWGOAOWSSPFC for short.

[Loonie @ Dec 15th 2008 3:25PM]

Stereotypical all you want. Hello Kitty is the most insanely successful... thing in the whole history of... stuff.

[Mobius_1 @ Dec 15th 2008 3:40PM]

No. Pikachu is.

[Loonie @ Dec 15th 2008 3:42PM]

Pikachu?? Ha! Hello Kitty, Goodbye Pikachu.

[Oli D @ Dec 15th 2008 1:27PM]

Well you won't be.

So there!

if you want to be low ranked, all you have to do is agree with anything iEye says.

[AlekZander @ Dec 15th 2008 1:34PM]

Saying "I, for one, welcome our new Sanrio overlords" would also have done the trick.

[Mobius_1 @ Dec 15th 2008 1:46PM]

lol, shout "I WANNA BE HIGHRANKED" to get low ranked, and shout "I WANNA GET LOW RANKED" to get high ranked...


Haven't Engadget just proven the theory of relativity?

[Oli D @ Dec 15th 2008 1:50PM]

No. You must be thinking of Super Symmetry

[MarbleMind @ Dec 15th 2008 2:03PM]

No, no, you got it all wrong. This is how to be low ranked:

"HOW I MINE FOR FISH?!?!"

See? Easy.

Batz Maru > Hello Kitty

[AMiSH PiRATE @ Dec 15th 2008 4:07PM]

damn it! I still find myself wanting one of these.

[Akio @ Dec 15th 2008 5:28PM]

The pink one looks like it has cheap wallpaper on it, if they took it off an replaced it with the kitty on the left then it'd be better!

[Akio @ Dec 15th 2008 5:29PM]

Well, I should really re-read more often, replace it with the kitty from the right, not left

[Megan @ Dec 15th 2008 8:20PM]

Aw man. I have a Flip camera that I got free from the Pepsi Points promotion over the summer.
But I want a Hello Kitty one now
Fuck it.
I'll get some stickers and save myself the money
