The ASUS Eee Keyboard PC is considered an entertainment PC in a keyboard. There is a 5-inch multi-touch display (instead of a numeric keypad) that connects wirelessly to a nearby display. The built-in secondary display screen is intended to launch applications, control media player software, or as a touchpad for the main display. This page brings together the latest news, reviews, blog posts, Twitter tweets, and videos about the new Asus EEE Keyboard PC but with a human touch.

The system is essentially a netbook in terms of embedded technology except for greater reliance on streaming video via wireless. Asus uses the Eee WiCast wireless HDMI technology claiming a near latency free gaming and multimedia experience. Wireless display technology is an emerging trend so expect to see more devices like this one.http://www.cnet.com.au/netbook-inside-wireless-keyboard-asus-eee-keyboard-pc-339300261.htm The Eee Keyboard PC is expected to stream high definition (HD) video to your display.http://www.liliputing.com/2009/10/asus-eee-keyboard-stops-by-the-fcc.html A wired HDMI version will also be available.http://www.slashgear.com/asus-eee-pc-keyboard-landing-june-from-400-0336323/
