GScreen Dual-Screen Notebook to Be a Reality By the End of the Year?
Gordon has stated that he plans to get the Spacebook up and running by December since that's when he wants it to hit Amazon.com. He also hopes that he can keep this notebook under $3,000 USD. Both of these ideas - to me - seem unbelievable.
The gScreen Spacebook will reportedly have: an Intel Core 2 Duo CPU, 4GB of RAM, Nvidia GF900M GT discrete graphics, an HDD with 7,200 RPM, Windows 7, and a 6 / 9-cell battery option. Did I mention that the chassis alone could weigh over 12 pounds - have fun not lugging this thing around.

Toshiba TG02 Spotted at the WiFi Alliance
To make things even worse is the fact that the TG02 appears to be a clamshell device with: a 0.8-inch external display, a 3-inch WVGA touchscreen internal display, a QWERTY keyboard and the 1GHz Snapdragon CPU. Back in April, we saw supposed pictures of the TG02 and it definitely didn't have a QWERTY keyboard and it wasn't sporting a clamshell design. From the description we've seen above, whatever this is should look more like the Toshiba K02.

Xbox 360 Price Cuts Coming Tomorrow; Facebook and Twitter Free With Gold Membership
By the way, you can check out what Microsoft had to say here.
In somewhat related news, we already knew that Facebook and Twitter support would be coming to the Xbox 360 in the Fall. Well, Microsoft has also mentioned that Facebook and Twitter support will require an Xbox LIVE Gold Membership. That sucks.
Update: According to the latest VG247 post, Microsoft hasn't "finalized" the plans on Facebook and Twitter support, which means that it actually might not require a Gold Membership.
Update on August 28th: According to VG247, this is now official. Microsoft has just said that Facebook and Twitter will be free to Xbox 360 users who have Gold Memberships. Silver users will only have a "free trial" but right now we don't know how long this trial will last.

High-End Maemo-Based Smartphone to Be Unveiled at Nokia World?
This would also bring in the rumours that Nokia will be replacing Symbian with Maemo.Fortunately for some, it looks like Symbian will be reserved for the low to mid-end smartphones and Maemo will be reserved for their high-end smartphones since it's more flexible - that is, if these rumours are true. Could they really be announcing the Nokia N920? We'll see.
