Actually I think they may have mac compatibility.

"they also need to updat the IE logo, thats for ie 6 not IE7"

you guys DO realize that the entire point of this keyboard is that you can change the icons and keys at a whim, right?]]>Nov 19th 2006 3:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/18/optimus-103-keyboard-pre-orders-start-december-12/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/18/optimus-103-keyboard-pre-orders-start-december-12/Dec 6th 2006 3:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/18/optimus-103-keyboard-pre-orders-start-december-12/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/18/optimus-103-keyboard-pre-orders-start-december-12/Nov 19th 2006 4:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/18/optimus-103-keyboard-pre-orders-start-december-12/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/18/optimus-103-keyboard-pre-orders-start-december-12/

This has always been a fascinating idea, at it's price and with it's problems it's going to be novelty for a while, but it's entirely possible that it will be a standard one day, much like Wireless or Function keys.]]>Nov 19th 2006 2:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/18/optimus-103-keyboard-pre-orders-start-december-12/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/18/optimus-103-keyboard-pre-orders-start-december-12/Nov 19th 2006 1:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/18/optimus-103-keyboard-pre-orders-start-december-12/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/18/optimus-103-keyboard-pre-orders-start-december-12/
Once this is released in a split-design, I'm all over it. But for now, since it isn't, I can't see myself being able to use it. ]]>Nov 19th 2006 3:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/18/optimus-103-keyboard-pre-orders-start-december-12/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/18/optimus-103-keyboard-pre-orders-start-december-12/Nov 19th 2006 2:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/18/optimus-103-keyboard-pre-orders-start-december-12/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/18/optimus-103-keyboard-pre-orders-start-december-12/Nov 19th 2006 4:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/18/optimus-103-keyboard-pre-orders-start-december-12/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/18/optimus-103-keyboard-pre-orders-start-december-12/
To me, the same thing can be accomplished with transparent keys with a little slit on each key to accept slide-in paper squares. Sure, it won't glow in the dark. But chances are it can be seen in the bright light a lot better. (it can be made to glow with simple modification, anyway...far less expensive than a small display on each key.

To make things easier on the masses, you could bundle a dedicated printing application. All you need to do then is cut into little squares where the dotted lines are. Slide paper into each key's slit. Re-configure your 'dedicated' keys in software. Done.

And no tears if/when the keyboard/ dedicated keypad fails. A future version could use e-ink that requires no power and backlight to stay on.

I prefer wired keyboards to wireless, too. Sure, wireless is handy sometimes, but not as my main device.]]>Nov 19th 2006 5:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/18/optimus-103-keyboard-pre-orders-start-december-12/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/18/optimus-103-keyboard-pre-orders-start-december-12/Nov 19th 2006 10:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/18/optimus-103-keyboard-pre-orders-start-december-12/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/18/optimus-103-keyboard-pre-orders-start-december-12/
Wait for Logitech to figure it out. Speaking of which, how about a new G15 w/ color LCD. Am I right?]]>Nov 19th 2006 11:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/18/optimus-103-keyboard-pre-orders-start-december-12/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/18/optimus-103-keyboard-pre-orders-start-december-12/
How long will it take for the "keyboard saver" programs
to start to arrive for linux?

Since at least 80% of open source code (by volume) is
screensavers, can keyboard savers be far behind? :-).
