ASUS Eee Keyboard to launch by end of June

[Computer Hope Admin]

The dream of owning a keyboard embedded with a full-blown PC running XP on an Atom N270 processor and 5-inch, 800 x 480 pixel touchscreen display/trackpad is nearly upon us. A dream, quite honestly, nobody had prior to seeing the reveal of the 2-pound Eee Keyboard prototype at CES in January.

Sounds like a MAC.

That's already been done.
It will flop.

Hehe yeah Geek-9pm. Story also reminded me of my first computer, the Atari 1040ST.

N0. We're bringing in the 1337 5ch001.

the difference is- this new one will have the screen integrated to the keyboard- and smaller as well. Much like a tablet PC but with a smaller screen and built-in keyboard.

heh, the funny part about "leet" speak is that people that use it obviously have no clue what it implies. It doesn't imply anything good, I might add.

H4x0r. The supposed language of hackers. It's truly the language of 5kĄddĄ35.

[Carbon Dudeoxide]

That's pretty amazing.

I bet these will be faster then both the atari AND the commodore 64!

It's not a "language", it's a ridiculous shorthand invented by people whose mommies and daddies thought they were geniuses because they wrote 8008i35 on their calculators. It went downhill from there.

Please note the word SUPPOSED in my post...and you absolutely correct.

Integrated? Really?
I can visualize a keyboard on one side and the screen on the other.
Type a paragraph, then look on the back side to see what you wrote.

integrated in the same way the screen of the original imac is part of the system itself.

Ok... that's gotta be the most completely useless thing I've ever seen from ASUS in their Eee line. I thought the Sony VGN-UX180P was useless, but this is even worse.

I'm leaning towards you on this although I'd like to see some reviews when it's actually released. If done properly they could potentially be on to something for those people who want to simply have an Internet computer up in their kitchen or something similiar.
