The Asus Eee Keyboard is one of the oddest computers we've seen in a while. It looks like an ordinary keyboard, but has a complete PC inside — an uncommon but far from unknown configuration. However, it also has a 5in. 800-by-480 touch-screen built into the right-hand side, with fingertip access to calendar, photo gallery, web browser and so on. It has 802.11n Wi-Fi, an integrated speaker and micropohone, and HDMI output.

At under a kilogram, the Eee Keyboard is as easily portable as a standard keyboard, although it remains to be seen what it'll actually be useful for.
