ASUS Eee PC Keyboard Could Ship in May This Year
ASUS Eee PC Keyboard, another clone of the Eee PC trend, could arrive to users as early as May the company's bosses have confirmed at CeBit. Company chairman Jonney Shih said the firm is aiming to deliver the product in Q2 this year, which means in May according to his words. If not delivered on that month, the Eee PC Keyboard will ship in June for sure, he added. The device incorporates a fully working PC and a touchscreen display into a standard keyboard form factor. Initially, two versions will be released - a wired one for $400 and a wireless model for around $500. Both will feature a 1.6 GHz Intel Atom processor, 1 GB of DDR2 RAM and a 16 GB or 32 GB SSD for storage. For now it is unclear what the 5-inch touchscreen will let you do. Other specs include built in 802.11b/g/n Wi Fi, Bluetooth 2.0 and Ultra Wideband HDMI, on top of that there are 2 x USB 2.0 ports, 1x VGA and 1 x HDMI, as well as a headphone and mic ports.

Also, I'd say something like a touchscreen is great because then you don't need to bother with a mouse.
A keyboard is already clumsy when used in this fashion -- why burden someone with a mouse, when a trackbad built-in will do? :D
It's like Apple I:
