NorhTec Gecko Surfboard: $99 Linux PC in a keyboard

,----[ Quote ]
| The oft-delayed ASUS Eee Keyboard is a great 
| concept â squeezing everything from a nettop 
| into a QWERTY form-factor â but what if your 
| computing ambitions are even more moderate?  
| NorhTec reckon they have the product for you 
| in the shape of the Gecko Surfboard, 
| outwardly a regular QWERTY keyboard but 
| actually packed with a 1GHz x86 system-on-
| chip (SoC), VGA and composite video outputs, 
| 10/100 ethernet and optional WiFi b/g or even 
| 3G.

| desktop computer," offered for only $99 with 
| the Linux version. Built into a standard-
| sized keyboard, the "Gecko Surfboard" runs on 
| a 1GHz x86 SoC (system on chip), operates 
| fanlessly, and uses just five Watts, the 
| company says.
