This is Asus’ Eee Keyboard. This isn’t some run-of-the-mill keyboard, this will be a fully functioning computer housed in the body of a keyboard, the Eee Keyboard. On the right side, there is a five inch touch screen display/touchpad.
Asus would like its Keyboard to travel around the house and wirelessly hook up with televisions and displays via ultra wideband. Asus calls this the “First Wireless Media Center Enabled by Ultra Wideband HDMI.”
I think they’re right because I don’t think I’ve ever seen a product like this. While I have seen computers built into the keyboard, this is different.
When can you expect to see this product? I was given two answers. One Asus representative told me that this product had no release date, but this displayed device was a prototype. Another Asus rep told me to expect the Eee Keyboard this year. Which person was right? We’ll find out.
