But then again a Dell Zino for 299 will do the same thing, and that comes with Win7, and could easilly fit in a laptop case. so you'd save 300 dollars.
Maybe get a nice monitor with the savings...

After being debuted at CES and missing its original launch date in February, Asus has finally gotten official with the EeeKeyboard PC. It’s a bit late, no?
The EeeKeyboard became available for pre-order on Amazon a few weeks ago, with the hefty price tag of $599. While not mentioned in the release, it looks like that is going to stick for now. There’s also still no word on when that extra fancy keyboard will actually ship.
Many of you were a bit skeptical as to how this keyboard could be useful. Nearly $600 is a pretty price to pay for a keyboard, but with Windows XP and an Intel Atom N270 CPU, it does have the ability to turn any display, projector or HDTV into a functioning computer.
There are some pretty significant connectivity options as well, including three USB 2.0 ports, HDMI out, VGA, plus headphone and microphone jacks. Thus, you could even hook up some external hard drives and DVD players. It would be a lot of wires all over the place, but the 2.2-lb. keyboard is highly portable. Any more interest now?
