Saw it on another forum shit looks sick I don't have much info on it but I'll start looking.

http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/gizmodo/2009/01/eeekey1.jpgWe spotted some Asus keyboards last week, but none were nearly as potentially awesome as the official Eee Keyboard. Featuring wireless HDMI, it's a "fully functional PC" with full QWERTY and a mini secondary touchscreen.
Asus was vague as to if/when we'll actually see the Eee Keyboard come to market (though we're pretty sure it's a semi-real product), but it's a fantastic concept for a home theater PC if we've ever seen one. Through wireless HDMI you could potentially make any television into your monitor (complete with audio playback) without having some huge PC taking up space.

that's pretty badass. wireless hdmi? could this thing be the ultimate media center pc?

i love the EEE products. i still need to get my hands on a 1000HD, although by the time i get around to it something better will surface from Asus i'm sure.

That looks like a Macbook pro keyboard attached to an iphone.



As for the product it's self, I rather look to my left at a screen as opposed to ALL the way over to the right side.

I mean the keyboard is a left side dominated device. Why not take advantage of it?

having it on the right mimics the shape of a number pad. and if it's used as a track pad, it makes more sense to have it on the right since 93% of the world is right handed.

1) Bome's Mouse Keyboard - Bome Software (http://www.bome.com/midi/keyboard/)

2) map it to your drum vsti

3) profit :bigok:

The only thing is touch-screens are not capable of sensing multi-touch reliably YET. Once they do you will see tons of midi touch screen controllers.
