We already knew the keyboard has a 5in touchscreen. Now we learn from the The Boy Genius Report website that it features a 1.6GHz Atom processor, has 1GB of DDR 2 memory and the option of a 16GB or 32GB solid-state drive.
According to BGR's unnamed source, the Windows XP-based keyboard can connect to the web over 802.11n. Bluetooth 2.0 is also on board.
In shops within six months?
Additional connectivity methods include an HDMI connection, two USB ports, and jacks for a microphone and headphones.

Another improvement?
Why not build in a pico projector with an optional screen of the sort that folds up like a car child's sunscreen?
its come full circle
Better yet, I'll dig out my old c64...
I vote for an official El Reg name for this
The EeeBoard
See what I did there?
But...
Can it be used as an actual keyboard on an existing system?
Why bother?
I'm not sure I see the point of this. You're going to need a full size screen anyway. Why not cut out the computer part and just use of of those little USB screens like that one from D-Link.
