Sqaure Enix has just announced that Final Fantasy IX will be hitting the PS3's PSN in the near future.

Some Verizon employees are under NDA right now and they're supposedly testing this device right now, so that's pretty awesome and this could mean that it's real. Of course, Verizon's LTE network will be quite premature if the iPhone comes this year so it'll likely run on their CDMA network as well. Engadget has got a lengthy post on their website so you might find it interesting to read it, go on over.

13-Inch Toshiba Notebook To Look Sexy and Pack Fast-Charging SCiB Battery?

Labels: , , , , , , ,

Apparently, Toshiba plans to make a sexy new 13-inch notebook with some quite amazing specs and a new fast-charging SCiB (Super Charged ion Battery) battery. The teaser picture is above and it looks quite thin as well. Apparently, the battery will be able to change to 90% in just 10 minutes, which is definitely impressive. The notebook itself will be packed with Intel Core i3 / i5 / i7-620 CPU options, up to 4GB of RAM, a 500GB HDD / 512GB SSD, and a USB 3.0 port. I doubt it'll be cheap, so save up if you're willing to get one. Apparently, this notebook will also be the lightest 13-inch notebook in the world.
