The Asus Eee Keyboard hasn’t actually started shipping yet. But now that it’s available for pre-order, the folks at Netbook News caught up with some folks at Asus to check out the retail packaging — and then to rip it open and see what comes in the box.
Basically, along with the keyboard you can a carging cable, HDMI cable, and an ultrawideband receiver for streaming HDMI video signals from your keyboard to a TV or monitor.
Netbook News reports that the Eee Keyboard with 16GB of storage should cost $549 while the 32GB model will run $599.
You can check out the unboxing video after the break.
I’d also be interested to see it in action. However, I really don’t see what benefits this would get me over my Nettop + wireless keyboard that is set up with my entertainment system. Sure, it’s a cool gadget but I think I get the same essential outcome for far less money.
I’ll be interested to see the unit actually in use.
