| Asus have really led the way in the last two years, basically creating the netbook (mini laptop) market with the EeePC, and then the eee box for Desktops. As BGR reports (http://www.boygeniusreport.com/2009/01/07/asus-eee-keyboard-wows-us-all/) they look like they've done it again. Imagine this. You go to a different workspace, class, home - and instead of bringing your laptop out, you bring out a keyboard. Full size, and good looking too (similar to the better MAC keyboards going round). It has a screen - but one the size of most smartphones, and it's not for showing 'windows' on or 'typing', instead, you plug it into any standard monitor. Bingo - its a PC in a Keyboard. With an ultra cool touch display built in for some additional tasks and basic file viewing I guess. One comment I saw said "its the C64 all over again" - referring to the 80's hit, the Commodore 64. And that's basically right. Everything you need, built into the keyboard. Why did we ever go away from that concept! I for one cannot WAIT to see it and try it... Specs (according to BGR)
