I would show it to off to my friend Jason because he would be pissed off I got one for free.
These aren't just for Korea. I got one when I bought my Dissidia PSP bundle from Play-Asia.
This video proves why FFVI needs to be remade on the PSP.

Mid 2009 cannot come soon enough.
Well, that's all fine and dandy, but what about the Mac OS X users?
Hm..

So now we just need confirmation on Terra and Cloud, ja?
Bell and Telus CAN'T release the iPhone until they go through a huge, country wide change in Network Type. They use CDMA and the iPhone runs on GSM.

Right now, Rogers/FIDO is the ONLY carrier in Canada that the iPhone will work on.
It's difficult to run up that high on the Rogers network in Canada.

Rogers has shotty coverage at best, with 3G in only 25 cities across the second largest country in the world, it's hard to use the network to surf when you're constantly looking for more service. If you get inside a building, you're almost fucked unless you're right by a window. Especially if it's a mall or a big store. I know in my local wal-mart, I only have to walk about ten steps in before I get a "No Service" on my iPhone. Whereas other companies in my province manage to have full service even within these buildings.

Rogers needs to increase it's coverage around Canada and the reliability of it's network as well. If you're outside, and not around a lot of buildings, you're good. But as soon as you go more than a couple kilometers out of a major city, you're fucked.

The backlash at Rogers for it's data plans was not only for the data plans, but for the gouging they've been doing for years and how they are able to get away with it since Rogers/FIDO are the only GSM carrier within Canada. People wanted better rates, better coverage, and a better carrier.

Hopefully, once the cellular services open up in the next couple years, we'll get a new, better GSM carrier that I can switch to.
It's true what they say. Americans are ignorant.
Of course this model is going to be released now. I just replaced my broken Polar White with a Cobalt/Black. Uggh. I've wanted a Platinum/Metallic Silver DS Lite since they were announced, but to import would be over 200 dollars. Now they're being localized. *shakes fist*
HAte to break it to you guys, but America isn't "The Whole North American Content".

Canada has no reason to celebrate the Fourth of July and I'm pretty sure Mexico doesn't either.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I own an iPhone 3G and I'm looking for a decent speaker / alarm clock for it. I am going to listen music in a mid-sized room, so I want nice quality speakers with solid bass. I also want to use it as an alarm clock, so it would be great if there is such a feature. The price can be low-mid to mid-high range. I was looking at the Klipsch iGroove SXT; it's powerful, slick and the reviews are good, but it doesn't have an alarm clock feature. It's no deal breaker if I can set it up from the iPhone, but I'm not sure. Thanks!"
