In the past you've created options to view the site without seeing news about Apple or Microsoft. How about an option to not see anything about the Optimus until it actually ships - and works - as promised?]]>Nov 5th 2007 4:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/05/sub-500-optimus-keyboards-in-the-works-and-other-newsimus-maxi/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/05/sub-500-optimus-keyboards-in-the-works-and-other-newsimus-maxi/]]>Nov 5th 2007 4:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/05/sub-500-optimus-keyboards-in-the-works-and-other-newsimus-maxi/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/05/sub-500-optimus-keyboards-in-the-works-and-other-newsimus-maxi/Nov 5th 2007 5:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/05/sub-500-optimus-keyboards-in-the-works-and-other-newsimus-maxi/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/05/sub-500-optimus-keyboards-in-the-works-and-other-newsimus-maxi/
Out the box, the letters work, first firmware update lets you type numbers too, and the second update lets you type symbols?]]>Nov 5th 2007 4:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/05/sub-500-optimus-keyboards-in-the-works-and-other-newsimus-maxi/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/05/sub-500-optimus-keyboards-in-the-works-and-other-newsimus-maxi/Nov 5th 2007 4:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/05/sub-500-optimus-keyboards-in-the-works-and-other-newsimus-maxi/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/05/sub-500-optimus-keyboards-in-the-works-and-other-newsimus-maxi/Nov 5th 2007 4:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/05/sub-500-optimus-keyboards-in-the-works-and-other-newsimus-maxi/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/05/sub-500-optimus-keyboards-in-the-works-and-other-newsimus-maxi/Nov 5th 2007 4:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/05/sub-500-optimus-keyboards-in-the-works-and-other-newsimus-maxi/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/05/sub-500-optimus-keyboards-in-the-works-and-other-newsimus-maxi/
Ooo.. shiny...]]>Nov 5th 2007 4:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/05/sub-500-optimus-keyboards-in-the-works-and-other-newsimus-maxi/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/05/sub-500-optimus-keyboards-in-the-works-and-other-newsimus-maxi/
Thanks for using the feedback on this article to take a stab at us "Lazy Americans." Handy, yes, but worth the cost?

Aren't you the lazy one if you need your keycaps to change every time you enter a new program (or use a different language) instead of learning character maps and hotkeys?]]>Nov 5th 2007 6:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/05/sub-500-optimus-keyboards-in-the-works-and-other-newsimus-maxi/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/05/sub-500-optimus-keyboards-in-the-works-and-other-newsimus-maxi/
In short, Pierre speaks more than one language because he has to, not because he is enlightened or cosmopolitan.

p.s. I am a fat, gun-toting, religious fanatic American and I speak almost perfect Spanish.

p.p.s. Kiss my ass.]]>Nov 5th 2007 6:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/05/sub-500-optimus-keyboards-in-the-works-and-other-newsimus-maxi/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/05/sub-500-optimus-keyboards-in-the-works-and-other-newsimus-maxi/

However after they teased us (B&W,no nevermind we will release it in color) and makd the price higher than most high end laptops, they can stuff it!

There is no way in HELL I will purchase any device (Especially from them) Based on the "Promise" of future features via firmware updates. I have seen too many devices released that had a "Comming Soon" for some features... That never came to be!!!! My friend is stillw aiting for Pinicle to release their damn TV Guide software "update" for his video capture card. Well not really he gave up after a year and purchased an ATI card.

Do not sell me a couple slices of bread and promice you will fill it with meat and cheese later! Either finish making the damn thing, or do not even bother to release it!

Optimus used ot mean "OMG I can't wait!!!"
However now it means "We are acting like rockstars, even tho we have not recorded one single hit song."

If I happen to see one of their keyboards in the bargin bin at my local computer store... With a price tag of $20.00, I will have to think about it for a while to decide if it is really worth it.]]>Nov 5th 2007 4:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/05/sub-500-optimus-keyboards-in-the-works-and-other-newsimus-maxi/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/05/sub-500-optimus-keyboards-in-the-works-and-other-newsimus-maxi/Nov 5th 2007 4:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/05/sub-500-optimus-keyboards-in-the-works-and-other-newsimus-maxi/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/05/sub-500-optimus-keyboards-in-the-works-and-other-newsimus-maxi/Nov 5th 2007 5:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/05/sub-500-optimus-keyboards-in-the-works-and-other-newsimus-maxi/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/05/sub-500-optimus-keyboards-in-the-works-and-other-newsimus-maxi/will it make me love vista?]]>Nov 5th 2007 4:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/05/sub-500-optimus-keyboards-in-the-works-and-other-newsimus-maxi/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/05/sub-500-optimus-keyboards-in-the-works-and-other-newsimus-maxi/Nov 5th 2007 9:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/05/sub-500-optimus-keyboards-in-the-works-and-other-newsimus-maxi/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/05/sub-500-optimus-keyboards-in-the-works-and-other-newsimus-maxi/]]>Nov 5th 2007 9:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/05/sub-500-optimus-keyboards-in-the-works-and-other-newsimus-maxi/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/05/sub-500-optimus-keyboards-in-the-works-and-other-newsimus-maxi/
#2 It will be an 20 button SureType keyboard not QWERTY.
