Basically its like any other keyboard except the keys are little LCD screens. And you can change them for exmaple:
Looks pretty damn cool to me

Sweet, didn't see a price though, wonder how much it'll run for.

Patents pending at the moment. But yeah, price should be an interesting one to think about. However i guess you could make these with off cuts of old screens...

The price will be about the same as a good cell phone.
Also for rep:
It will most likely use the OLED technology (e-paper is sooo slow).
