While this netbook will definitely not be able to pull out any magical gadgets out of its breast pocket, it does look cuter, if not cooler than most other netbooks. It’s a Doraemon-styled mini-notebook PC (OK, a netbook, if you don’t want me trying too hard) from a company called KuroKids, which should be able to bring joy to any child’s face, provided he doesn’t break the thing within five minutes of him getting it in the first place. Only 800 units of this cute netbook will be made available, with each costing roughly $487 USD each. Yes, now that you know the price, it isn’t as cute as it was five seconds ago, no? No word on a release date outside of Taiwan, but it’s likely that this will be sold exclusively in that part of Asia.

    I don’t know why but Doraemon’s more popular here in Taiwan than in his birthplace of Japan. Maybe because he’s older news in Japan. I suspect this is the country he’s most popular in, in fact as it seems the most Japanophilic. Anyway, I’m pretty sure this is the touchscreen convertible Classmate 2 PC. I’ve only seen it marketed in Taiwan from KuroKids, but previously without Doraemon.
