Give me this combined with glasses that project the screen image and I won't touch a laptop ever again.
Me neither. Add 3-D to the glasses and hand gesture recognition. To me, much more powerful than a jumbo-sized iPod

Re: The AntiPad
#22Is there an extremely lightweight screen to go with this? I'd love to have a very lightweight computer that I can carry around. I would then Remote Desktop onto the beast running at home.
Microprojectors are pretty light weight and luggable, YMMV (a lot).

#23Windows XP? I'd like to see android running on there! :)
Right. Would be good to be able to mount a phone in a keyboard, and to hook up an external monitor.

#24I 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.
I remember electronic typewriters like this.

#25No 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.
"Ultra Wide Band transmitter and external receiver for sending audio and video to a TV wirelessly, b/g/n Wi-Fi, ..., Bluetooth"
I don't think you're getting the reference..

#26I have for years contemplated buying a mac mini to hook up to my plasma TV, but I just haven't been able to justify the cost when I can just hook my laptop up to it. When I heard about this Asus keyboard/computer a couple years back I got pretty excited, especially about the wireless transmitting to a display.
Now I own an iPad and the appeal of surfing the web on my plasma greatly diminished for me. As for watching internet video like Hulu, I think I'm just gonna get myself one of these Henge (http://www.hengedocks.com/) docks and save myself the $600.
Re: The AntiPad
#27I 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.
Presumably there will be a wireless HDMI dongle so you can pop down by any screen, plug in the wireless dongle and use that screen with your keyboard computer ("keyPad"? "netboard"?).
As for iterations, when I can fold it and put it in my pocket ...
I don't really see how this is better than having a netbook or in a static setup having a wireless keyboard with a touchpad (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003GU1028?ie=UTF8&tag=... , aff).

#29Was sad to see it run Windows
Re: The AntiPad
#30It'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.
Funny you mention C64, there's a commodore branded thing that's similar coming out soon: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/03/25/commodore_64_redux/
Just to be clear, that's not really a Commodore-branded machine. Some hoaxer took pictures of another company's product (an all-in-one keyboard-computer meant to be used for Point-of-Sales systems) and threw up a poorly designed website claiming it was made by Commodore.
