We won't lie -- Betty Boop is a curious choice to us, but we will admit that it's entirely more unique than Hello Kitty. At any rate, fans of the lovably lady who just so happen to live in France can apparently pick one up from Bouygues Télécom. Though, we'd recommend you shuffle on down in a hurry, 'cause the limited edition nature could mean that these will be all claimed in the near future. As for the phone itself, you'll find a relatively simple slider design, microSD card slot, up to three hours of talk time, a VGA camera, FM radio and built-in MP3 player. All yours for the low, low price of €129 ($175).

According to Bijou Bob's official weblog, PBS has given "the green light" to producers to revive some of the greatest 'toons of the past, and just as soon as sufficient sponsors are found, you can expect to see the renditions in stunning HD, which will likely prove that Betty Boop actually is forever young. The 12-episode season is slated to air sometime in 2007, with "Betty Boop, Tom & Jerry, and the Fleischer Superman cartoons being named as potential candidates for the show." Additionally, you can expect to see see "a short subject, a serial chapter, and a feature film" to go along with the newly-rendered cartoons, all of which will be hosted by Debbie Reynolds. So if you're looking to relive a bit of your past, and don't mind the HD makeover, the Matinee at the Bijou should be right up your alley.
