ASUS Eee Keyboard now slated for an August release

Hardware

Aww, crap. Just when we thought we were finally going to be able to get our hands on the ASUS Eee Keyboard, an ASUS marketing executive had to go and ruin the fun. Apparently the Eee Keyboard will not be launching by the end of this month as expected, but sometime in August instead. The reason for the delay? ASUS has yet to fully work out how it is going to market the mind-numbingly cool computer, which is more or less a positive way to say that its scared that one wrong decision will jeopardize its potential for success. Regardless, we want 10 and we want them now.

    Man if they could only pair that with the Optimus Maximus Keyboard, that would be a totally killer rig. Wait a minute….forget I ever posted this.

    Any venture capitalists out there looking for a good investment?

    @ Don’t-Hate
    The reason they put the screen on the keyboard, is to use Windows Vista’s SideShow feature, it lets you do basic functions such as check addresses, contacts, phone numbers, as well as recent email’s. It allows you to check those things if your laptop’s on, off, or in sleep mode. So its like a computer assistant that can work with or without the computer, but relies on the computer for data.
