Hello Kitty gets two new Bluetooth headsets

by Darren Murph posted Nov 22nd 2007 @ 12:16AM

What better to go with your shiny new Hello Kitty-themed phone than -- wait for it -- a Bluetooth headset doused in cuteness? Apparently, a pair of these very devices have managed to surface, and we're sure gals everywhere are clamoring to get their hands, er, ear under one. Granted, we've no idea how well these things would actually work (nor how much they'll cost), but the adorable factor is undeniably through the roof. If you're not already overwhelmed, feel free to check out the other version after the break.

Samsung E428 aims for the mobile-minded princess

by Cyrus Farivar posted Oct 23rd 2006 @ 2:15PM

We're not exactly sure how many princesses these days actually carry cellphones, but this handset may be just the phone for the young female royalty-wannabe set. Or at least that's what Samsung is hoping for with its latest model, the E428. This newcomer brings an elegant white case with lace-like designs on the front cover, sports a camera (we've got conflicting info on whether it's a 0.3 or a 3.0 megapixel version), and shines with a 65,000-color OLED 1.8-inch screen that supports 128 x 160, GPRS and IrDA. That's the good news; the bad news is we're not sure what upstanding, self-respecting woman would want to have a phone without Bluetooth, but perhaps there's something about royalty that we don't understand. If our information is right, the Samsung E428 should hit the streets of Taiwan sometime this month, for an unknown number of Taiwan bucks.

Women do the lion's share of mobile gaming, sez study

by Chris Ziegler posted Jul 1st 2006 @ 4:51PM

Cellphones seem to have a way of busting gender stereotypes. First we hear that men are more likely than women to buy a phone as a fashion accessory (Nokia probably wishes they'd caught wind of that before showing the decidedly feminine L'Amour Collection), and now we're being told that some 59% of all mobile gamers represent the fairer sex -- at least that's what research firm Parks Associates has concluded in surveying some 2,000 Internet-connected gamers. "Women are the foundation of the gaming market, and as an industry, we need to cater to their preferences," says Parks Associates' director of research John Barrett. Of course, if this means more games like Spore dropping on our phones, us boys say, "bring it on."
