Brief: Motorola ROKR E8 passes the FCC hurdle
The ROKR E8 has one trick up its sleeve, the buttons change depending on what application you’re currently running. It doesn’t have a touch screen, it doesn’t have a fancy camera, it runs Motorola’s poor Linux implementation, but at least it has a 3.5 mm headphone jack which is worth a lot of points in…
