The keyboard was unveiled at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas last January and has since been linked to a string of potential launch dates.

However, it has taken until today for a top Asus executive to confirm that the keyboard will be available to buy during October.

But Asus still isn’t willing to say how much cash Blighty-based buyers will have to splash in order to secure an Eee keyboard.

I like this idea

It doesn't need speaker cables, because it has an HDMI out - hook it up to an HDMI-capable monitor (and there are a fair few knocking around), use a wireless rodent, and I think you have something fairly close to an ideal reception machine.

I want one but only if....

...I can connect to a 'normal' monitor via the wireless link, and can have a wireless mouse too. So for normal use I don't have to have any annoying cables plugged in as that spoils the look.

I for one would like to see creative use of the built-in screen as a 'sidebar' of some kind to supplement the normal screen rather than to replace it.

Imagine games and other apps using it as an additional display. Now imagine people also taking advantage of the fact that it is touch-sensitive too - opens up whole new realms of possibility. Of course developers aren't going to develop such things unless the technology becomes pervasive, and I know that isn't going to happen so for that reason I'm out.
