Final Fantasy XIV Beta Could Start This September
According to the latest rumour, the beta for Final Fantasy XIV may start as early as this September. It's scheduled for a 2010 release, so the beta could be pretty long, especially since it should be available after Final Fantasy XIII hits North America. The team is expecting the beta to be longer than Final Fantasy XI's and that lasted 4 months. The Final Fantasy XIV dev team has also mentioned that they have been working on this game for five years, so that means it should be good, right? Most of the Final Fantasy XI team will be working on XIV as well and - unfortunately - I disliked Final Fantasy XI. We'll just have to see what happens in the future. It does look beautiful though, which is what you should expect from a Final Fantasy game. Enjoy the video below!

Asus Eee PC 1005HA Now Available For Pre-Orders
Update: As of June 24, Newegg is also taking pre-orders for this netbook here. It's expected to ship on July 1st, so it's only a week away. The let down is that it will be a bit more expensive than the Amazon pre-order that I talked about above (not true anymore, if you check below). This will actually cost you $390 USD. I guess Amazon is the better option here. Don't forget that this netbook has a whopping 9 hours of battery life - according to Laptop Mag's review - which is good enough to claim the top spot in that category. This update was courtesy of Engadget.
Update (#2): The old Amazon link for the Asus Eee PC 1005HA is not working anymore. The new listing for the 1005HA on Amazon has a price tag of $390 USD as well. Looks like you can just pick and choose whichever website you like better now. Amazon has this netbook in black and blue options. Check the blue model out here and the black model here.

Toshiba TG01 Now Available In Japan; Working On An Android Handset?
According to DigiTimes, Toshiba is working on their very first Android handset. Toshiba joined the OHA (Open Handset Alliance) back in December 2008, so it could be a possibility. Any details on the handset have not been disclosed. This could mean that the Android OS could be accompanied with the speedy 1GHz Snapdragon CPU, which would make the handset run extremely fast. I'm guessing that this could be Android's step into the mobile gaming world - similar to the iPhone - especially because the CPU could have upgraded capabilities before it gets released. On a side note, the source also mentioned that Sharp and Asus are also planning on making their own Android handsets as well.
