Those living in Japan get all of the cool stuff. Sometimes we get it later, sometimes we don’t. The latest Sony-thing to keep gamers in Japan happy are two new bundles for the PSP-3000.

One of them comes with a new pouch, a 4GB Memory Stick and a cloth with the SCEI logo, the other includes Monster Hunter Portable 2G. I wouldn’t hold your breath waiting to get one here in the states.

What do you get when you cross Wall-E with a butler? You’re looking at it. It has Wall-E’s eyes and the snootiness of Jeeves, your elder manservant.

This robotic butler just looks like an old sad and lonely Wall-E. It made an appearance at Shanghai’s New International Expo Center where they are hosting the 2009 China International Industry Fair. Sadly there are no other details about the bot. But just looking at this guy makes me sad.

Looks like the PSPgo is living up to it’s name in Japan, where it’s go go go. Sony’s has moved more than 28,000 units on its first day on sale in Japan. The launch was supported with retail and download titles Persona 3 Portable and Dissidia Final Fantasy Universal Tuning, as well as download-only titles Disgaea Infinite and LocoRoco Midnight Carnival.

For comparison, the PSP-3000 sold over 140,000 units in October within a 4-day window, while the Nintendo DSi sold 170,000 in two days time.

We don’t have much info. Just a small image and a few specs at the moment, but it looks like NEC is working on a mobile business tablet PC that looks to be Android based. The touchscreen tablet has a 7- to 8-inch LCD display and NEC is apparently predicting that they’ll eventually ship over 1m of the UMPCs each year. So they seem pretty confident.

We don’t even have a name for the device yet, but it’s set to go on sale in Japan this fall. NEC is boasting that it’s a fast-booting device with heavy use of cloud-storage and cloud-computing “capable as a personal computer”.

It’s only been a year since the original DSi launched, and here we are talking about a new one. According to Nikkei there’s a new DSi coming very soon with a 4-inch screen, that would have the same price as the current one.

The larger model DSi will only be seen in Japan later this year and it’s aimed at an older demographic who wants a slightly bigger screen. You know the folks with big buttons on their phones and hearing aids.

The upcoming ULV-powered, 11.6-inch IdeaPad U150 has just been announced in Japan. We don’t know when it will be coming to the US. It packs an Intel Core 2 Duo SU4100 ULV processor, integrated graphics, 2GB of RAM, a 250GB HDD, multitouch trackpad and Windows 7.

We also don’t have a price either but it goes on sale today and should be comparable to Atom machine prices thanks to it’s processor.

Microsoft is promoting Windows 7 in Japan with the help of Burger King, who is offering a Windows 7 Whopper. And they really mean Whopper this time as it has seven patties in an otherwise normal Whopper. It measures 5.1 inches tall and costs 777 yen ($8.53).

Microsoft has repeated the “seven” theme in multiple publicity events, but none so tasty as this one. I wonder how many of these Whoppers they will sell.

Lenovo’s IdeaPad S12 will be hitting Japan on October 22nd, along with Windows 7. As usual Lenovo isn’t delivering anything outwardly sexy here, but the S12 has some decent enough specs.

It will come with an NVIDIA GeForce 9400M graphics card for portable gaming, an Intel Atom N270 1.6GHz processor, a 12.1″ display at 1,280 x 800 resolution, 2GB RAM, a 250GB hard drive, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, HDMI output, a few USB ports and a memory card reader. It will retail for around $760 in Japan and should be about $200 less when available in the states.

Toshiba is no stranger to churning out laptops of all sizes. Now they are introducing two new CULV models: the 13.3-inch MX/43 and 11.6-inch MX/33. Both come make some trade-offs to performance for portability, but the MX/43 is the more balanced model.

The MX/43 features a Core 2 Duo SU9400 processor, 2GB of RAM (up to 8GB), a 250GB hard drive, 10.5 hours of battery life, and Windows 7 Home Premium. The MX/33 takes thing down a notch with a 1.3GHz Celeron 743 processor and a smaller battery, but you can get it in three different colors.

We’ve been waiting for various color Wiis and Wiimotes for awhile now and even though Nintendo gave us a black Wii and blue Wiimote in select locations, the company hasn’t offered any other colors.

Hopefully, that will all change soon. Over in Japan, at a small retailer event, the company revealed that a blue and pink Wiimote will hit Japan on December 3rd. Pricing is unknown. It’s also unknown if they will offer any other colors besides the blue and pink.

The thing about robot brides is, if you get cold feet, you’re dead. Yes, this is a humanoid robot marching down the aisle in a wedding dress. And yes, it’s freaky. So it must have happened in Japan.

The HRP-4C humanoid robot was featured in a fashion show in Osaka, walking down the runway in a wedding dress, looking forward to giving her hubby some deaded bliss if he doesn’t say I do. She didn’t actually get married on this day however, but it should serve as a reminder that there are lonely dorks out there who will marry a robot. For the sex of course.

CinemaNow has announced that it’s partnering with Fujisoft to deliver movies to the Nintendo Wii. The service will initially launch in Japan, where the Japanese will be able to watch catalog titles from Paramount Pictures. The service is called “Minna no Theater Wii” over there.

Will we see this hot in the states? We hope so. But you never know. I’d rather watch movies on a higher quality console myself, but to each their own.

One of the hottest and thinnest handsets of this year just made its way to Japan. It’s completely anorexic at less than a centimeter thick. Which is the main thing it has going for it. The NTT DoCoMo T-01A is the same TG01 device revealed by Toshiba back in February running Qualcomm’s ultra-fast 1GHz Snapdragon chipset.

It also features a 4.1-inch WVGA (800 x 480 pixel) resistive touchscreen display; HSDPA, GPS, and WiFi radios; and Toshiba’s custom UI meant to mask its Windows Mobile 6.1 core. Now that Toshiba has unleashed it Japan we look forward to seeing the TG01 launch in Europe and everywhere else.

Here’s some good news for folks living in Japan. That’s because Panasonic has announced that they will release the Lumix DMC-FS7 10MP compact camera in Japan. It’s already available across Europe from early 2009. The colorful cameras are available in Silver, Blue, Pink and Green.

These digital cameras feature a 4x optical zoom and a 2.7-inch wide view LCD. It can also record VGA video at 30fps. Sadly there’s no word on pricing for the Japanese version.
