A look at the most exciting gadgets of CES 2009

Having already built an Eee PC into a monitor, Asus has now done something similar with the Eee Keyboard.

Inside, the device is a fairly standard Eee PC, using a 1.6GHz Intel Atom processor and 16GB or 32GB of solid-state storage. However, the Eee Keyboard has no display beyond its five-inch touchscreen — the intention is to hook the machine up to a television set and use it as a media centre. This can be done using either the wired HDMI connector or the keyboard's built-in, ultrawideband-based, wireless HDMI connectivity.
