Looking for the perfect complement to your limited-edition Neon Genesis Evangelion iPod? Sanrio has the answer - a limited-edition Hello Kitty iPod mini! Available only in pink, the 6GB iPod mini comes with a Hello Kitty iBe@r stand, case and set of keyrings. Only 2000 will be available so don't delay!

Sanrio will begin accepting orders for the "iPod mini & Hello Kitty BE@RBRICK Set" from 25 February with shipping to begin in mid April. The set contains a 6GB iPod mini engraved with the Hello Kitty logo and a Hello Kitty-style "BE@RBRICK" stand. Production will be limited to 2000 units.
The set will be sold at Sanrio's online shop and selected mobile phone retailers. Orders will also be accepted via ballot in the May edition of Sanrio's online newsletter, the "Ichigo Shinbun" (released 10 April). The set is priced at 39,900 yen.

The 6GB iPod mini (released 23 Feb) is laser engraved with the Hello Kitty mark and is available only in pink. A pink Sanrio iPod mini case is included. Apart from the laser engraving, the specifications are identical to the new iPod mini.
The BE@RBRICK stand has Hello Kitty's trademark red ribbon painted on its ear and a design based on the Hello Kitty logo covers its body. The Hello Kitty mark is printed on the back of the stand. The stand measures 270 x 90 x 130 mm. A set of three BE@RBRICK mascot keyrings in gold, silver and pink is also included.

The bear is a customized version of the Bearbrick (a nod to the popularity of the Kubrick figures) iPod stand. Kubrick figures are yet another mini-phenomenon moving through Japan. |

I believe the price is reasonable consider a ipod min is 6gb is around and those 400% Be@rbrick usually cost lke 80-150 so i think the price is pretty reasonable |

the iPod mini's have been short of value-worthy in my opinion anyway... you can get the lowest end iPod for only $50 more and get a TON of more storage (it's about 15GB diff - even after formatting and all)... who'd bother with the mini for that cose a price range? And certainly why spend MORE than that for something that's not doing anything else? iPod 40GB is close to that $379, and it's about 10 times the storage... Heck yea! |

i like the new Hello Kitty iPod. Even if it is a Mini. Minis are cool for people who dont really need that extra 15-35 Gigabyte. Those who buy i hope you enjoy.. and by the way, are there any owners who have the cons of iPod minis (in which they might want to share with me)? I am looking to purchase my own. |

ipod mini is smaller and lighter than the regular ipod. it's more wearable. END OF STORY. |

I love my mini, i'd never be able to fill up the higher capacity one. And if I could i'd never listen to all those songs Mine is light, compact, I can use the arm band for the gym. I also bought a $5 y cord adaptor and connected it to my aux stereo jack on my stereo. Very versitile. I think these stands are ridiculous being priced close the the ipod itself. My father who is an artist made me a great personalized stand for when I hook it up to my stereo. It's great and one of a kind. |

I think this I-Pod is cute but too expensive. I mean, all it is is a C.D player that can record music. |

I think that it's cool, then at the same time i'm a show-off, so i feel that for that price that hello kitty should be all over that case I want it to be known. But don't get me wrong I love hello kitty and will spend big money on her stuff, but that picture is not gone get it! May the control buttons should have been shaped like her face too! |
