They are colorist.

I won't buy from colorists.

They also need a rainbow-ribbon key. ]]>May 30th 2008 4:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/30/optimus-popularis-prototype-hits-the-web/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/30/optimus-popularis-prototype-hits-the-web/May 30th 2008 4:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/30/optimus-popularis-prototype-hits-the-web/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/30/optimus-popularis-prototype-hits-the-web/May 30th 2008 4:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/30/optimus-popularis-prototype-hits-the-web/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/30/optimus-popularis-prototype-hits-the-web/
now that you've covered the announcement and first mockup, how about saving us from the bs and hype until it's a real product.

please?]]>May 30th 2008 4:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/30/optimus-popularis-prototype-hits-the-web/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/30/optimus-popularis-prototype-hits-the-web/
I don't see how this is really 'different'.]]>May 30th 2008 5:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/30/optimus-popularis-prototype-hits-the-web/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/30/optimus-popularis-prototype-hits-the-web/Quoted from Optimus
'"It is obvious that 100 small displays are more expensive than 1 big display. So we're concentrating our attention on designing a keyboard based on Upravlator idea.

Our goal this year (besides starting production of the new Mini) is to create a prototype of a keyboard with transparent keys overlayed on a single display. Production should start later this year, or in the beginning if 2009.

First real thing will most probably be based on a TFT-display. Hopefully, this full-color keyboard will retail for under U$800."

They would rather make a large proffit on a small number of devices, than a small proffit on a large number of devices. And they can get away with it because nobody else has anything like it available. Monopoly means they can charge whatever they want to. So untill someone else makes a competing device, it will remain unaffordable.]]>May 30th 2008 10:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/30/optimus-popularis-prototype-hits-the-web/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/30/optimus-popularis-prototype-hits-the-web/
