Where is the Asus Eee Keyboard? The Taiwanese computer company still says that it is on its way, despite almost a year's worth of delays.
Last month we heard that the new date given to the innovative PC-in-a-keyboard product is April, which would be the month that we're currently cruising through. Asus now only has three weeks to make good on that promise, but we're feeling optimistic this time.

babybeluga Do you pronounce this "triple E" or "E-E-E" or just "eh"?Reply
Just wondering...Personally, I think the eh keyboard makes sense for this kind of product. -
RazberyBandit This is a seemingly cool product. Being able to use any screen via wireless connection is a great feature. But...Reply
I don't think it has the hardware capabilities to truly act as a media center like it's portrayed. Sure, that hardware is great for that little screen next to it, but what about that 50" 1920x1080 TV in my living room? -
ChaobSiroc If they told you the price in that promo they would be doomed. Why should it cost more than a laptop?Reply -
gsacks It is a neat concept, but at the end of the day it is a gimmick. It is just a low end laptop/netbook with an undersized screen in a different form-factor.Reply -
Abrahm gsacksIt is a neat concept, but at the end of the day it is a gimmick. It is just a low end laptop/netbook with an undersized screen in a different form-factor.The iPad is just a gimmick too, didn't stop 300k sheep from sucking it up.Reply
It's also interesting to note that ASUS invented the netbook, which at the time was just an underpowered laptop with a new form factor. That took off really well. We'll have to see if they can pull it off again or not. -
apoq deividastwant one NOW.......!!!!!! give me one NOW!!!!!!Seriously, what use do you have for it? I can't think of one application I could find any use for me. On the other hand, with the ipad, at least reading sounds like a winner.Reply
