I remember reading a while back it would cost somewhere around 300 Euros ($360). This is easily the coolest computer gadget in a long time.

Wow!! That thing is very very cool! Strange enter button - but notice the old standard 2 by 3 insert/end/pgup, del/home/pgdn block. :D

I hate any keyboard that doesn't have the standard 2 by 3 block. They say on their site that it will cost about as much as a good mobile phone. That's not a very good comparison, as I have no idea what a good phone costs these days. I think Seth's Razor was around $200 when he got it. Probably less now.

SOMEBODY WILL PAY!

it appears we won't be seeing the optimus keyboard anytime soon, it remains only a concept. instead, we MIGHT be seeing something like this come february...

Image

same concept, only three buttons instead of 112. and the displays aren't OLED, just little LCDs.

i knew it seemed a bit too early to be releasing something that cool...somebody will pay.

and that somebody is ryland. way to go, dude.

apparently not, I didn't actually make it up to ender's place that night. but before I can even say ok, I have to consider you the true underlying source of all that is wrong in this world and then you have to accuse me of making negative comments about you all the time :noway:

you might have better luck rounding up fallen avacado around these parts - but you are more than welcome.

The Optimus mini three has been released today for $100. Not nearly as cool as the full Optimus keyboard, but it makes a cameo on the site being listed for sample manufacture by late 2006.
