Not surprising, Windows software first, but they say they'll be
doing OS X and Linux as well. Also mention of open source and SDK
for it.
I can think of a LOT of fun things to do with one :-)

there was this article in The Register
<http://www.reghardware.co.uk/2006/02/02/lebedev_oled_keypad/> today
about that ... It seems really cool.

I know it adds very little, but I believe it also appeared on slashdot
over a month ago. These keyboards make you think twice before sipping cof-
fee over the table or even venting your anger at them.
It is one of many attempts to re-invent the keyboard, thereby making peo-
ple buy clumsy flashy gadgets. They use similar strategies to drive the
cellphone and fashion industries.
Keyboard accelerators are already very powerful on GNOME, KDE or X-level
(xbindkeys). Having said that, some might fancy the idea of never having
to look up key bindings. They are visible atop the keyboard itself. Need-
less to mention, few people look at the keyboard when typing and particu-
larly when playing shoot-em-up games.
