Do Pico games have serial numbers? (tying into the T series code discussion)
Do we have media scans, not just dumps?
(all of the above here, but for Beena)
Do we have a list of Beena games? I know less of Beena than Pico.

It's a start I guess. Incidentally, that page is much better than ours. =P

That list is probably copied straight from the official Beena website.

Yes, last I checked.

As far as I've seen and heard Pico and Beena are not compatible in terms of hardware specs, but don't quote me on that.

I got dates and serials noted at least in a good chunk in my big Sega Retro list of JP Pico release although it is not complete;

The Pico dumps come with storybook picture scans as par per course with the dumps but IIRC we don't have any coverart or manual scans.
I don't think anyone in the whole of Sonic/Sega Retro has a Beena to my knowledge. There are two for sale on ebay;

And one game, a Pretty Cure one.

T-300010 KUMON PUBLISHING (two with the same code?)
we have T-300 WARP
T-227010 NAYUTA
we have T-227 Vantan International/Electric Dreams
T-226110 SHOGAKUKAN
we have nothing for T-226; T-105 Shogakukan Production
T-193030 SEGA YONEZAWA
we have nothing for T-193 but what is Sega Yonezawa
T-193010 DIAPET/SEGA YONEZAWA
and what is Diapet
T-181010 OBUNSHA
we have nothing for T-181
T-170020 GE
just to make sure, you mean General Entertainment, right?
T-169100 GAKKEN
we have nothing for T-169
this is where having the boxes will be nice
EDIT ugh it's the original list that uses the romanized names

The sound is more accurate, though. hrm.
Andlabs: All that info is more or less pulled off the JP list without much more of my own input other than what games have US equivalents.
I'll append some of my own thoughts:
The "Shogakukan" one is probably right because of all the Doraemon games it's tied to.
I'll assume you're right about GE. It matches up, anyhow.
I tried looking up an article on Yonezawa and got this; considering the Diapet connection this is likely what's being referred to.
http://en.wikipedia....i/Yonezawa_Toys
Based on the dates of the releases, I'm assuming Sega Toys released some earlier titles under the Yonezawa name before they relaunched the Pico for the "Kids Communication" line under their own name.

This makes the relationship between Sega and Sega Toys appear highly confusing, from my perspective.

Before then, the standard models were handled by Sega.
Complicating this further, Imagineers' "Hirameki Mirai Kids" and Yamaha's "MIXT BOOK PLAYER COPERA" were handled by hardware licensors.

Dang, when did pictures break in there? Hrm...
Anyhow, the most complicated thing about the Pico seems to be trying to figure out what Sega and Sega Toys' business relationship is, since they seem to flip-flop being acting separately and acting as one when it's convenient.
