The AsusTek Eee PC T91 gets a big boost with news that is has just been given the thumbs up by the FCC making all expectant techie geeks more reason to await its official launch. Despite it being showcased on several occasions, including at the CeBIT 2009 event held in Hanover, Germany, the small-sized laptop is yet to become available in the US.

Despite no details on the availability date and pricing of the new Eee PC netbook, it’s clear that ASUS is taking all the necessary measures to bring its new convertible touchscreen system to all those netbook enthusiasts.

The Eee PC T91 comes as one of the first significant changes to the now traditional form factor of the netbook PC. The Taiwanese company decided to go a bit different with the design of the T91, which is why the system comes in an 8.9-inch package, similar to some early Eee PC 900 and 901 netbooks. It weighs less than one kg and its measurements are 225 x 164 x 25.2-28.4mm (W x D x H), making it even smaller than the aforementioned Eee PC models.

The HTC Rose or S740 has been approved by the FCC. The Rose is one of the last handsets made by HTC. It’s Windows Mobile handset like all recent HTC devices, excepting the Dream of course. The rose comes with a hybrid keybad/keyboard, GPS, WiFi and a 3.2 megapixel camera. Think of it like a modified HTC Touch. Add a slide-out full keyboard and a keypad and you get the Rose. You’d also have to remove the touchscreen to get a Rose. That last part you might not like!

The Rose is ready to be sold in the USA. All it needs now is some 3G support for the US since it only has quad-band (850/900/1800/1900Mhz) GSM/EDGE for now. Let’s see what carrier will pick this one up!
