Sony considered SSD, network storage for PS3 Slim

Could the PS3 Slim have been even slimmer? It could have, according to Sony’s Masayuki Chatani, but it would’ve cost you. That word comes from a wide-ranging interview Chatani gave to Tech-On!, in which he revealed (seemingly for the first time) that Sony had considered using SSD drives or even network storage to further reduce the size of the console. SSD drives were ultimately rejected, as you might have guessed, due to cost reasons, and Chatani says that network storage ultimately proved to still be simply too impractical for a game console. He also said that the PS3 could have been made slimmer if Sony had just left the power supply on the outside, but that would have “imposed restrictions on transport and use, making it harder to use freely.” Not a whole lot in the way of big revelations otherwise, but you can check out the complete interview at the link below.

Laptop-Netbook confusion: Toshiba Satellite T115-S1105 reviewed

With a Pentium processor and a decent amount of hard-drive space and RAM, the Toshiba Satellite T115-S1105 is more like a minilaptop in a Netbook’s body. The question is, does a thin-and-light this small appeal to you?

Kindle App for iPhone goes international, starts to get a little annoying at parties

We get it, Amazon Kindle App: you’ve just become available in over 60 countries, you’re something of a jet setter now. But you don’t have to go around and rub it in our faces. So what if we’ve only been to Mexico that one time by accident and can’t sync books and page placement via Amazon’s Whispersync technology… that doesn’t make us any less valuable as a person. Oh, and you’re coming to the Mac and BlackBerry “soon,” huh? Well, aren’t you special.
