this device is going to be SO useful. This will save so much more space on my desk!

I think they should also sell a version like this without the monitor on the keyboard. Another great idea would be a regular HTPC that's not built in the keyboard like this one, but rather just a keyboard with a built in monitor (wireless) only so you can remotely control your media without needing the big screen on.

Kinda getting back to the Commodore 64 (and other early 6502-based computers), in an upgraded way. Gotta say, though, it looks a lot nicer. Hopefully it's a lot faster.
Any word about whether one could wipe Windows and do a Linux install?

I dunno. Touch screens have proven to be a nifty interface, and this kind of implementation removes the whole "fingerprints on your nice big monitor" aspect. Hell, you could even hook it up to an old CRT monitor and still have touch-screen controls. I wouldn't mind being able to use it as second monitor dedicated to IM/IRC, myself.

I for one Cannot wait for the EEE Keyboard PC to be released!
Since reading about it a few weeks ago i have wanted one so bad, still not able to find that much information about the Keyboard PC
Hopefully they do release it in August, and not put it off for longer.

Also i have written a ASUS EEE Keyboard PC Review (Pre-Release Review, my thoughts on the ASUS EEE Keyboard PC).
