Asus_Eee_Keyboard_01

It has been a fun ride watching Asus’ EEE keyboard move from official debut at CES 2009 to rumored launch #1,  rumored launch #2, and finally rumored launch #3, the point at which we stopped following the pseduo-launches of this vaporware innovative product. When it seems the sleek and sexy accessory was finally disappearing into the proverbial sunset, the EEE keyboard rises again and hits the rumor mill with yet another rumored launch date, an official product page at Amazon, and a wallet-busting pre-order price tag of $599. Though the official Amazon product page does not specify a shipping date, a hands-on video courtesy of Netbook News suggests the netbook-equipped Asus EEE Keyboard may start shipping as soon as April 23rd. Anyone willing to gamble six Benjamins on an EEE Keyboard that may arrive on your doorstep as early as next week?

    Netbok equipped? Huh??

      Does that mean it comes with an embedded netbook or just a series of squirrel powered Intel atom’s?

    Great product for anyone who doesn’t want to have an HTPC in their living room.

    I’d really like to see the wireless 720P video working, but I’ve already got a PS3 hooked up to my 1080P TV so this is not on my list.

    ASUS will be getting my money on the 27th when they release the Crosshair IV.

    Too costly! Why not just make a keyboard with a dock that lets you plug in a android phone that will work with the keyboard and pc?

    It looks cool, but I have to agree that even I have seen reports about this for a long d…. time.

      Funny…the images shows a 2002 calendar…think that was the scheduled launch date before all of the delays!

  • Maulik

    the costliest keyboard….LOL

  • Michael Paul

    I don’t think this device is going to take off… for the simple reason that it’s only a 5″ display! Who wants to look at a 5″ LCD much less turn your head over to the right then down to this little screen. I mean, maybe it interacts with a net book, or note book in a new and bad a** way, IDK???

    man oh man…$600 bucks?!?! and people were talking how lame and a waste of money an iPad was..sheesh, this takes the proverbial cake!!

    Interesting gadget and I’d like to have one, but that’s a LOT of money for what amounts to an early 21st Century Commodore 64!
