Star Eee Keyboard Detailed by FCC
Linked by Jordan Spencer Cunningham on Mon 12th Oct 2009 20:08 UTC
Hardware, Embedded Systems Aspects of the mouth-watering Eee Keyboard have been mysterious since we first heard about it at the beginning of this year. Now that the FCC has had a go at the device and has released its documents, we have sweet description in full. "Several of the documents hidden from our anxious eyes during the FCC filing have now gone public. Not only can you visually inspect its innards, the feds have also laid bare the full spec sheet for the ASUS Eee Keyboard model EK1542. Beneath the 5-inch, 800 x 480 pixel touch panel (with stylus) we'll be getting Windows XP Home running on an Intel Atom N270, 945GSE / ICH7-M chipset with Broadcom AV-VD905 video decoder, 1GB of DDR2 memory, either 16GB or 32GB of flash storage, 4-hour battery, Bluetooth, 802.11b/g/n WiFi, gigabit Ethernet, HDMI and VGA outputs, integrated stereo speakers and mic, 3x USB, headphone and mic jacks, and external WiFi / UWB antenna. The Eee Keyboard's on-board Ultra-Wideband (UWB) throws 720p content to your TV within a 5-meter range (10-meters for non-video transmissions) via a UWB receiver packing 2x USB ports, another mini-USB port, audio out, and HDMI. You can even connect to two external monitors at the same time using UWB and either VGA or HDMI cable. Now all we need is a final date and price... ASUS?"

I know they get a few cent discount, but they should just grow some balls and resist putting those stupid hard to remove ugly stickers on every piece of hardware.

This is one thing Apple gets right. They would never ever do something like that.

They have stuck huge glowing Apple logos that you cannot remove from their systems. What are you smoking?

You also have asus/hp/acer/whatever branding on other computers, but you also get a share of ugly stickers.

A Mac computer is a Mac computer, hence the logo, but you don't get OSX/Intel/nvidia stickers.

You still can't use one of their products without getting adverts for the others: the iPod's connected to the iTunes app, the iTunes connected to the iTunes store, now hear the word of the Jobs.

What Apple is good at is, first and foremost, advertising. They even make sure you enjoy it.
