That is really cool, although I guess you really need to connect it to a monitor for it to be useful as a computer. I wonder if you can use a stylus with it as it would probably be great with paint packages, especially if it is pressure sensitive.

If you're in the market for something like this, you might also be interested in a Commodore branded all-in-one-keyboard coming out in a few months about that size, from Commodore USA, but obviously it doesn't have the touch screen. (edit: not the one on the website, a much smaller one)

ASUS is talking about it for almost two years, showing some pictures from time to time, and i have stopped to believe in it.
It is almost vapor-hardware too me now, especially in the wireless-HDMI version, as i have not seen this technology in any other computer so far.

That's just a hoax, a joke.

The owner lacks the motivation for it to be a joke. Having been in regular contact with they owner now, I can tell you it is NOT a hoax. The site unfortunately detracts from its professionalism, but I know there is an effort underway to revamp it.

You can actually buy the Commodore Phoenix keyboard NOW.....albeit the Commodore logos won't be available until the official launch. Of course, as people will likely be keen to mention, they're just rebranded Cybernet PCs, which we've seen before anyway, so the hardware is hardly vapour. There will be a smaller net-book specced All-In-One-keyboard available in a few months.
