Apologies if this has already been posted. I haven't been on the forums a lot recently.

Anywho, mate of mine sent me this link http://www.artlebedev.com/portfolio/optimus/

Basically its like any other keyboard except the keys are little LCD screens. And you can change them for exmaple:

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).
