Remember the Samsung 9 Series laptop from CES? Of course you do, it was the seriously thin, duralumin 13-inch laptop with a new Sandy Bridge Core i5 processor and 128GB SSD. Well, as you can see from the label shot above, the .68-inch system just passed through the FCC, which means the skinny sucker should be on track to hit its February release . (Our Samsung contact told us we should be expecting a unit later in the month so we’re assuming it will hit retailers around then.) The FCC filing doesn’t reveal much — it was actually submitted by Broadcom — but the label clearly shows its 900X3A model number and the drop-down port latches on the edges. We’ll be keeping our eyes peeled for more on this beauty, but it can never hurt to watch our hands-on video from CES to remember just what we’re lusting after here. Video after the break!

The dirty details are few and far betwixt, but IBM and Samsung have just joined up to announce a patent cross-license agreement that could have significant impact in the world we obsess with. According the (admittedly brief) release embedded after the break, the two will license their respective patent portfolios to each other, but considering that specific terms and conditions are being kept under wraps for now, it’s on us to imagine what kind of magic will result from the agreement. Of course, the patent portfolios for each of these companies is staggeringly vast — covering everything from mobile technologies to semiconductors, and just about everything in between. We’re told that the deal will allow each company to “innovate and operate freely,” and to use each other’s patents to keep pace with the rapid expansion of technology. Is a 5.2GHz z196 -based Galaxy S just months away? A boy can dream, can’t he?
