Asus Eee Keyboard delayed until August
After a recent discussion with Asus marketing executive, John Swatton, Tech Digest questioned Eee Keyboard’s target. According to Swatton, the gadget is meant to be a controllable media center, fit for use in your living area. As such, it can stream HD content from its 32GB SSD over HDMI to a television.
While the Eee Keyboard is still expected to see a consumer launch, Swatton says you won’t get your hands on it until late August. Given the lack of competition in this particular foray, Asus has been able to take their sweet time with getting their latest gizmo out the door.

For a screen that small I don't see how that would be practical. You would get back/neck problems trying to see the screen and play the game. |

This would be kewl, kind of like having a full keyboard with itouch features on it. I hope it will have a custom IR interface for controlling my TV, Stereo and etc. (If anyone thought of using this screen to play games on (even productivity software) is just not reading the article.) |

Why does something have to be Nvidia powered to run World of Warcraft? The short, but sadly existent amount of time I played that game was with ATI cards that ran the game perfectly (and at the end of the day, Intel GMA's can even get WoW done). WoW players should be considered the technological equivalent of an 80 year old. Then again, they buy $300 Gigabit cards with an Orc picture on the box and actually believe that WoW is playing faster somehow. |

A very interesting product. The more I look at it the more intrigued I am by it. Assuming the quality is good and the price-point is reasonable it will be an interesting alternative to the Netbook. |

If you read one of my comments on that ion powered samsung netbook a few pages back, someone had a go at me saying wow required imense power and that an Nvidia 9400 would not run wow! I totally agree with tengeta, wow doesn't need much power at all, I play wow but not religiously, and i was just stating that this keyboard could actually run wow, but its just a keyboard! i just find it imense how much tech as moved on sinse 2000 when that would have seemed impossible. |
