Asus Eee Keyboard Release Date Set for October [Asus Eee Keyboard Based Eee PC with Touchscreen]

Back in March we offered you an initial heads up concerning the at that time newly unveiled Asus Eee Keyboard – basically a Eee PC housed within a keyboard complete with touchscreen offering wired and wireless connectivity to TVs, monitors and/or projectors – whilst also informing you of the Eee Keyboard’s billed release schedule (that’s slipped just a little since then). Now, however, it’s release timeframe has reportedly been confirmed as being set for October in both Europe and North America.

The Eee Keyboard, apart from touting an integrated 5″ touchscreen display, is powered by a 1.6GHz Intel Atom CPU (this is an ‘Eee’ branded device after all) with 1GB of DDR2 DRAM whilst, in terms of storage, you’ll have the option of either a 16GB or 32GB SSD whilst the device also offers up Wi-Fi (802.11n) and Bluettoth wireless connectivity backed up with HDMI allowing output to LCD TVs/HDTVs. There’s also USB and VGA ports.

There’s no official word from Asus concerning what OS the Eee Keyboard will employ but its not unreasonably expected to run with Windows 7.

At this juncture Asus remain wholly tight-lipped concerning unit pricing though our initial projections of it coming in somewhere in the $400-$600 price bracket would still appear to be pretty much in line with expectations.
