, Oct 21st 2009 Discuss [0]

The ASUS Eee Keyboard saga continues, and we're beginning to think it's the company's version of vaporware.  At their latest launch event in London, UK, this week, the Eee Keyboard - which squeezes a nettop and touchscreen into a keyboard form-factor, and was first debuted at CES back in January - was conspicuous by its absence, with ASUS telling Electricpig that the device was still mired in testing; however, ASUS have also been demonstrating their latest version of the Eee Keyboard to NetbookNews, with nary a mention of release delays.

WiQuest close after poor Wireless USB adoption

, Nov 3rd 2008 Discuss [0]

Wireless USB - what's not to like?  Short range replacement for all those snaking cables, surely it's a dream come true?  Well, tell that to the 120 freshly redundant ex-employees of WiQuest, who shut up shop last week after investors pulled out.  Believed to be "number one in the space", WiQuest's dual-chip product was an optional extra on certain Dell, Lenovo and Toshiba laptops, as well as being used in Belkin and D-Link hubs, and its failure is being seen as a warning to ultrawideband (UWB) companies and startups.
