#2No wireless. Less space than a nomad. Lame.
In all seriousness, this is awesome, but...at a price $100 higher than the entry-level iPad, it's hard to justify. I was super-excited for that Optimus keyboard, too, but at the end of the day, they're both keyboards, even if they do crazy stuff on top of it.

#3I got a sore neck just looking at the picture of that thing. I'm surprised that anyone thought such a device would sell.

#4I really appreciate the innovation in this product. It might need a number of iterations though before they get a really good product out of it.

#5I think i want a 1200x300 display above the keys. Split into three tabs, and i could almost edit code and open a terminal to fix a server or two.

#6It's a little nostalgic coming from C64/Apple II days having a keyboard+computer in one, but this doesn't make sense anymore. Once you consider the cost of a display, why not just get a netbook or a nettop with display? Even in a developing market, this is pointless.

From article, emphasis added: "Apple's iMac has long embodied the notion of an entire PC crammed inside a monitor, but this is the first time we've heard of someone trying it with a keyboard."

#8Put the screen on the other side of the keyboard and I might go for it. I cram my neck the other way. That's where my 2nd monitor is.

Because you can just hijack any display you want (with permission of course). I mean, I've got an extra monitor. Want to hook it up to the TV? take it down and connect to the TV. Going to visit a friend? Bring it over connect to their TV.
It's really not a netbook, so much as a portable desktop.

Funny you mention C64, there's a commodore branded thing that's similar coming out soon:
