far is the Eee Keyboard. The first prototype has been unveiled at CES
2009 and since then anxious consumers across the galaxy have been
waiting for Asus to officially announce it.
The Eee Keyboard is not yet available in stores although it should have
been here a few months ago. So if Asus isn t willing to make it official
then let s head over to the FCC for some details. Kept as a secret so
far by Asus, the features of the Eee Keyboard have been unwillingly
unveiled by the documentation submitted to the FCC.
So what will this ultraportable computer have to offer you? Without
further ado, here s what we know so far about the Eee Keyboard:
Intel Atom CPU processor
945GSE chipset
5-inch 800 x 480 touchscreen display
Broadcom AV-VD905 video decoder
1GB of RAM
16 or 32GB of flash storage
Gigabit Ethernet
802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi
Bluetooth 2.1
Windows XP Home
HDMI and VGA outputs
4-hour battery
Ultra-Wideband system
UWB receiver with two USB ports, mini-USB, audio-out and HDMI-out
Nothing spectacular for a netbook you d say? I would agree but I would
also point out two significant features, the 5-inch touchscreen display
and the UWB system. It s pretty clear what the 5-inch screen will do for
you but the UWB system has to be explained. UWB stands for Ultra Wide
Broadband and it s a special technology which will let you send 720p
video or data to a display of your choice without the need of actual
cables. Video has only a 5-meter range while data will go up to 10
meters. All you need now is a display capable of UWB connectivity and
you re good to go!
So what do you think? Are you more excited about this Eee Keyboard now
that you know what it will have to offer? Will you buy a Keyboard or a
regular netbook? Prices and availability dates haven t been mentioned in
the paperwork filed with the FCC so we re still waiting for Asus to
announce the computer properly. And according to previous rumors that
should happen sometime this month!
