Saw this Asus EeeKeyboard

.. attractive..

it has an Intel Atom N270 processor along with 1GB of DDR2 memory..Sounds really cool.

I think it's totally crap.
599$ is the same you pay for a MacMini with 2.26 ghz core2duo and 9400M
Combine it with a BT keyboard and you have a way more comfy experience.

Or buy an Asus EEE-box, mount it with accompanying vesa mount behind your TV, add a BT dongle and buy an Apple BT keyboard for 300$ total if you want similar performance and less crap on your lap.

I quite like it altho the price isn't the best the thing this is great for is HTPC as it can sit on your coffee table send the video throught wireless HDMI so it's a good setup i think.

I can see this being the HTPC remote as you won't need any wires to display onto the tv the only downsides are the price and charging cause not everyone can have their htpc setup look nice if the remote needs to be charged after a few hours

Still i can see this doing quite well but i do think it should be cheaper

Just some ideas on how the keyboard could be used

The screen on the keyboard could be used to change tv channels by displaying the logo of the tv station you want.

It can display information about a dvd or have the dvd cover displayed for a quick look while your watching tv or playing games.

It can be used for IMDB while ur watching a movie to finish an argument on who the actor really is

It can be used for chat programs while you watching a movie

There are so many options that it could be used for it's alot more useful than you might think first off

Think it would be bloody usefull, but am unsure about a wireless HD connection could be painful.

also it the whole thing on amazon says about how its HD, but then at the bottom says its only 720p. Nice try amazon.

Well if it were just the keyboard then all you are saying would be true.... the problem is the pc is in there as well so your light keybaord suddenly weighs a few pounds.  Also it's too puny to handle hd video... especially if you are going to stream it wirelessly.
