Hello Kitty fan alert: you officially have your first full functioning Hello Kitty robot ready to hit the market. The purveyor of cute has teamed with iRobot to introduce a special Hello Kitty branded iRobot Roomba robotic vacuum cleaner. The limited edition device will only have a run of 500 units, so even at the steep price of 84,500 yen ($810), it's likely to sell out quickly. With over 3,000,000 units already sold worldwide, this latest twist could take the Roomba vac from seldom seen novelty to otaku household staple.
