It looks like Motorola ROKR E8 will indeed be released before Christmas this year, as expected, since it appears in Fergie’s video for her latest single, “Clumsy”. Actually there is no official information saying that the phone we can see between 3:10 and 3:19 is indeed ROKR E8, but the chances of being another phone are smaller than the smallest microchip from the smallest micro-device existent on Earth.

Taiwan computer maker Asus might have underestimated the local demand for its diminutive Eee PC, as the $499 laptop is now virtually sold out in Australia.

Neither Asus nor the exclusive retailer, Myer, will say how many units were sold, but an Asus spokeswoman said more stock would be shipped to Myer at the end of this week.

“Asus in Australia is trying to get as much allocation as possible from its headquarters.”
