Rilakkuma Edition: Casio unveils ultra-cute Exilim
Casio is to teaming up with major toy makers, licensing super-cute cartoon characters, using them on existing digital camera models and offering up super-cute limited editions to a fanatic fan base. After cartoon cats and Hello Kitty, it’s now time for , an adorable teddy bear.
The result is the Casio Exilim Rilakkuma edition that was [JP] today. This model is based on the , which features a 12.1MP sensor, 3x optical zoom, face detection, Eye-Fi connectivity, HD recording, an SDHC/SD memory card slot, and a 2.7-inch LCD. But who cares about specs when you can have a design like this?
Bandai Namco Games, the company that actually sells the camera, throws in a super-cute Rilakkuma pouch. It also saw to it that Casio builds in a special home screen that shows the bear together with his friend Kiiroitori, a yellow chick (see picture above). You can also add special Rilakkuma icons to pictures and movies you made with the camera.
The Exilim went on sale today on a for $290 (pouch included). If you’re interested but live outside Japan, I suggest you contact import/export specialists like , or the .

Confirmed: Windows Mobile 6.5 to become Windows Phone Starter Edition

might have been the big news out of Mobile World Congress this year, but it looks like Windows Mobile 6.5 will live on as the basis of Windows Phone Starter Edition. We’d already heard some whispers to that effect, but now it’s been confirmed by ZDNet‘s Mary Jo Foley, who got some answers about the stripped-down mobile OS directly from Redmond. It’s obviously designed to be a cheaper alternative for developing and emerging markets, much like Windows 7 Starter on the desktop, and it’ll come in versions with and without Office Mobile preloaded when it ships on devices later this year. (Office 2010 will be included when it’s officially released.) Here’s the odd thing, though: when asked which features of 6.5 have been stripped to create Starter, MS replied with a list of radio support that conspicuously omits HSDPA 3G, but includes EV-DO. Simple typo, or an attempt to force international adoption of WinPho 7 in developed countries with 3G networks? We’ll do some digging and find out.
P.S.- Just to be clear here, it appears that the family will be Windows Phone 7 Series, and then potentially two WinMo 6.5 products: and Windows Phone Starter Edition. Only Starter has actually been confirmed at this time, though, and we still don’t know exactly how Microsoft is going to organize all of this and sell it. We’ll keep you updated.

HP Mini 210 HD edition review
Netbooks for all! We’re convinced that’s the motivational saying plastered to the wall in the HP lab where the company births Minis for everyone but your pet fish. But of all the company’s Pine Trail offerings, we’re most excited about the $425 Mini 210, which has a 10.1-inch HD screen and a Broadcom Crystal Accelerator chip that promises decent HD video playback, even with Flash. With an attractive new thin design, improved chiclet keyboard and that promise to handle high-def content, the Mini 210 has the potential to kick the others to the curb. Given the issues we had with the and HP’s newer touchpads, though, we had to put on the glasses and take a closer look. Join us past the break for the full review, will you?

Phone manufacturers usually leave the gilding to jewelers and other specialty shops that are more willing to show complete disregard for taste and common sense than themselves, but once in a while, pure, unadulterated emotion gets the better of someone in a position to make product decisions — yes, even at Nokia — and something like this slips through the cracks. Meet the N97 Mini Gold Edition, which is pretty self-explanatory: it’s an with 18-carat gold on the important bits. It’s coming to Europe, the Middle East, and Asia at the beginning of next quarter; pricing in Poland will run 2,499 zloty (about $851) unlocked, which is a bit of a premium over the 1,999 zloty ($681) charged for the standard model.

Casio’s GPS-equipped EX-10HG camera gets a price, launch date
22/02/2010 - 21:22

Last we saw Casio’s GPS-equipped it was still in prototype form at CES, but the company was back with it again at PMA this week, and thankfully was a bit more talkative this time. The big news is that the camera will be available in October of this year, and will cost “around $400.” That will get you a 12.1-megapixel camera that not only does geotagging of photos (with some accelerometer-based assistance when a GPS signal isn’t available), but can even double as a navigation system in a pinch — although it’s still not exactly clear how fully functional that aspect of the camera will be.
