Next Phase of Netbooks

EeePC is coming out with the next revolution of the netbook. Asus is about to release the Eee Keyboard. An introduction is here:




This device will eventually be perfect for students. A full size keyboard (the biggest complaint of netbooks thus far), this is also smaller, lighter, and more portable than a netbook. By providing a small touchscreen on the keyboard itself, students can sit in class, take notes with the full-size keyboard, monitoring on the small touch screen, then return home, hook up to a monitor, and you have a full size computer at home. No need for clouds, no need for a PC at home and a netbook for class, it's a valid, all in one solution.

Keys are going to be the battery life, reliability of an exposed keyboard (unless some type of hard case is provided, and reliability of the touchscreen on the side.

None the less, this is an exciting blend of a smartphone, netbook, and PC, all in one. Once again, Asus is leading the way.
