Hands-on with ASUS' Eee Keyboard
engadget.com wrote:Remember that Eee Keyboard that was announced during CES? ASUS did itself proud by bringing a few to CeBIT this year, and we were able to swing by and take a look. The 5-inch, 800 x 480 touchpad was looking mighty fine, and the Atom N270 within seemed plenty powerful. It's a touch hard to believe that ASUS was able to shove a 16GB SSD, 1GB of RAM, WiFi and Bluetooth modules, VGA / HDMI ouputs and a few USB 2.0 ports within a slim, elegant keyboard, but somehow or another it did. Oh, and the actual typing experience wasn't bad from the few moments we spent practicing this here post.

I think the eekeyboard is an absolutely amazing "convergence" device. It's generally difficult to combine TV and PC in a manner that doesn't shout "Full-retard".

I'm stoked for this toy.

if it isn't too expensive I'll have to pick one up myself. wonder what resolution it's capable of outputting? maybe I should dig up the specs instead of just looking at the pretty pictures... :oops:

With wireless HDMI? It had better push out a full 1080P...

Good choice putting $4,000 rims on your 1990 Honda Civic. That's like Betty White going out and getting her tits done.

Could be cool! I'm not 100% on the idea yet though.
