It does look good - but you've got to wonder why bring to market something that already exists - the only down side to the touch screen is you don't get the tactile feed back - but they are working on that]]>Oct 19th 2006 12:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/19/here-comes-the-upravlator/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/19/here-comes-the-upravlator/
There's something to be said for a standardized button layout, as well as tactile feedback when working meticulously.]]>Oct 19th 2006 1:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/19/here-comes-the-upravlator/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/19/here-comes-the-upravlator/Oct 19th 2006 12:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/19/here-comes-the-upravlator/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/19/here-comes-the-upravlator/Oct 19th 2006 12:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/19/here-comes-the-upravlator/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/19/here-comes-the-upravlator/
I agree. Couldn't you do this thru software with a touchscreen?]]>Oct 19th 2006 12:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/19/here-comes-the-upravlator/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/19/here-comes-the-upravlator/Oct 22nd 2006 3:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/19/here-comes-the-upravlator/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/19/here-comes-the-upravlator/Oct 19th 2006 12:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/19/here-comes-the-upravlator/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/19/here-comes-the-upravlator/
i bet all the magic is in the driver/SDK.

i'm definitely interested in this for the second display for my laptop. just hope it comes in DVI flavor.]]>Oct 19th 2006 12:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/19/here-comes-the-upravlator/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/19/here-comes-the-upravlator/Oct 19th 2006 1:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/19/here-comes-the-upravlator/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/19/here-comes-the-upravlator/
Then you could have any pattern of keys in any shape...

It seems like this is becoming kind of a silly product...]]>Oct 19th 2006 12:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/19/here-comes-the-upravlator/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/19/here-comes-the-upravlator/Oct 19th 2006 4:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/19/here-comes-the-upravlator/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/19/here-comes-the-upravlator/Oct 19th 2006 1:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/19/here-comes-the-upravlator/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/19/here-comes-the-upravlator/]]>Oct 19th 2006 1:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/19/here-comes-the-upravlator/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/19/here-comes-the-upravlator/Oct 24th 2006 5:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/19/here-comes-the-upravlator/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/19/here-comes-the-upravlator/Oct 19th 2006 1:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/19/here-comes-the-upravlator/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/19/here-comes-the-upravlator/

Hmmm, now THAT isn't surprising... ]]>Oct 19th 2006 2:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/19/here-comes-the-upravlator/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/19/here-comes-the-upravlator/Oct 19th 2006 3:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/19/here-comes-the-upravlator/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/19/here-comes-the-upravlator/Oct 19th 2006 3:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/19/here-comes-the-upravlator/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/19/here-comes-the-upravlator/
And on a personal note, I can't think of anything I would do with one of these. I already know all the photoshop shortcuts, and it couldn't be positioned close enough to either of my hands to be useful in games.]]>Oct 19th 2006 3:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/19/here-comes-the-upravlator/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/19/here-comes-the-upravlator/

Ohhhh

That's exactly what they did.

I'll wait for the keyboard, but really, I'll never be able to afford the damn thing anyways.]]>Oct 19th 2006 5:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/19/here-comes-the-upravlator/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/19/here-comes-the-upravlator/
