Your thinking of the optimus maximus keyboard, but that is nothing like this. These are mini interactive displays that are multi funtion, the optimus maximus just allows you to assign a picture or functition to each key unlike this which allows dynamic and interactive content on each device then allows them to interact with each other, you, and your PC. Off the top of my head I really dont see a practical use for these exact devices but once the tech has been improved on, I could see this being used for things like credit cards or name badges or my personal favorite a really really cool universal remote like the harmony 1000 but on technology steroids. Like each little screen is for a different device and then when you add new components you just add one of these things to the remote and viola automaticly integrated and interactive, I dunno just a thought.
